I think if I were reading to a grandchild, I might read Tolstoy's War and Peace. They would learn about Russia, they would learn about history, they would learn about human nature.

Mostly, a whole world would come alive for them through that book.

Vera WangWhere I would like to discover facts, I find fancy. Where I would like to learn what I did, I learn only what I was thinking.

That is why I have refrained from burning them.

Taylor StevensHigh SQ demands the most intense personal integrity. It demands that we stand open to experience, that we recapture our ability to see life and others afresh, as though through the eyes of a child, to learn how to tap into our intuition and visualization, as a powerful means of using our inner knowing to โmake a difference.โ It demands that we cease to seek refuge in what we know and constantly explore and learn from what we do not know. It demands that we live the questions rather than the answers.

C. S. LewisI think if you were to talk to women who have run, both successfully and unsuccessfully, nearly all of them would say, "You learn so much."

That's one of the great things about being a woman in today's world: You have a much longer potential work life than our mothers or our grandmothers did.
Hillary ClintonYou learn, of course, when you're working with something good, but you also can learn when you're working with things that are not good. You can see the reasons they're not good.

R. Lee ErmeyEternity is a constant learning process. It will be another grade, another step, a chance to do what we failed to do before and to learn what we failed to learn before. Thank God for eternity! We've all probably got a lot of bad habits to change and failures to make up for. Maybe God will give each of us a chance to meet people who we've wronged and straighten things out and tell them we're sorry.
