Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us - and those around us - more effectively. Look for the learning.
Louisa May Alcott
These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness
Anthony de Mello
Learning without thought is labor lost; and thought without learning is perilous.
Confucius
Knowledge is learning something every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day.
Zen Proverb
The curse of mortality. You spend the first portion of your life learning, growing stronger, more capable. And then, through no fault of your own, your body begins to fail. You regress. Strong limbs become feeble, keen senses grow dull, hardy constitutions deteriorate. Beauty withers. Organs quit. You remember yourself in your prime, and wonder where that person went. As your wisdom and experience are peaking, your traitorous body becomes a prison.
Brandon Mull
Ignorance of what real learning is, and a consequent suspicion of it; materialism, and a consequent intellectual laxity, both of these have done destructive work in the colleges.
Katharine Fullerton Gerould
Hungry people cannot be good at learning or producing anything, except perhaps violence.
Pearl Bailey
Here the heart May give a useful lesson to the head, And Learning wiser grow without his books.
William Cowper
For all his learning or sophistication, man still instinctively reaches towards that force beyond. Only arrogance can deny its existence, and the denial falters in the face of evidence on every hand. In every tuft of grass, in every bird, in every opening bud, there it is.
Hal Borland
No coach ever stops learning. That's what makes the great coaches great. They strive to learn more every day and they never stop asking questions.
Thomas Aaron (Tom) Crean
For life, with all it yields of joy and woe, And hope and fear (believe the aged friend), Is just our chance o' the prize of learning love, How love might be, hath been indeed, and is.
Robert Browning
Life is about learning; when you stop learning, you die.
Thomas Leo Clancy Jr.
We have heeded no wisdom offering guidance. Only by learning to love one another can our world be saved. Only love can conquer all.
Dora Russell
Out of too much learning become mad.
Robert Burton
In terms of doing work and in terms of learning and evolving as a person, you just grow more when you get more people's perspectives... I really try and live the mission of the company and... keep everything else in my life extremely simple.
