The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent.

David Mamet

A leader who listens is one who is malleable and willing to refine her views and actions as she learns new information or hears a better idea.

Adena Friedman

Willing Will Who

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

Aeschylus

Wisdom God Art

Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.

Aldous Huxley

World Thought Though

Dumbness comes from the fact that a child is born deaf and that it consequently never learns how to articulate, for it is by the medium of hearing that such instruction is acquired.

Alexander Graham Bell

Art T Ring

Everyone learns how to assimilate through watching television. Everyone thinks America is going to be like Hollywood, and when they get here they keep watching TV to find out how to be.

Alexandra C. Pelosi

Wood Woo Watching Tv

I really don't know why Scarlett has such appeal. When I began writing the sequel, I had a lot of trouble because Scarlett is not my kind of person. She's virtually illiterate, has no taste, never learns from her mistakes.

Alexandra Ripley

Car Writing Why

In order every one in our homeland learns principles of democracy and the peaceful transition of power, and in order to stabilize and develop multiple choices in democratic practice.

Ali Abdullah Saleh

Power Peace Home

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.

Amanda McBroom

Art T Raid

I really just try to enjoy the game and hope that I can inspire young kids. I started playing tennis because of Monica Seles, and I try to promote the sport in the best possible way. Sometimes it's hard because you get upset on court, but I think in life one learns through experiences in order to evolve as a person.

Ana Ivanovic

Time Life Hope

A hidden nerve is what every writer is ultimately about. It's what all writers wish to uncover when writing about themselves in this age of the personal memoir. And yet it's also the first thing every writer learns to sidestep, to disguise, as though this nerve were a deep and shameful secret that needs to be swathed in many sheaths.

Andre Aciman

Age Writing Writers

Being a Jew, one learns to believe in the reality of cruelty and one learns to recognize indifference to human suffering as a fact.

Andrea Dworkin

T Suffering Suffer

Our school systems have to realize that everybody doesn't learn the same way, and no one learns without some emotional support.

Andrew Young

Without Wit Way

The lefties are on the side of the thugs. They've taken over the universities. I don't think anyone learns anything at college anymore. It's a four-year vacation.

Ann Coulter

Year Vacation Universities

Quite simply, we're re-telling the very first adventures of 'Daredevil', as originally seen in DD #1-6, but in a modern style and setting - being faithful without being slavish. And I'm using those adventures as a framework to delve into Matt's psyche a little, as he learns to become a hero.

Antony Johnston

Work Faith Without

Only when every one of us and every nation learns the secret of love for all mankind will the world become a great orchestra, following the beat of the Greatest Conductor of all.

Artur Rodzinski

Love Great World

When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control the behavior of crop plants and domestic animals, he may be justified in believing that he has become civilized.

Ayn Rand

Learning Well Us

A person who has been punished is not less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment.

B. F. Skinner

Men Who Way

The legislator learns that when you talk a lot, you get in trouble. You have to listen a lot to make deals.

Bob Woodward

You Trouble Ten

No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

Booker T. Washington

Writing Tin Till

If a little kid picks up Guitar Hero and learns 'Smoke On The Water,' he soon finds out that if he wants the chicks to look at him, he'd better learn it on the guitar!

Brad Paisley

Water Wants Want

I'm a guy that learns from making mistakes. Sometimes that's not the best way to learn, but that's how I learn.

Brock Osweiler

If you have a kid who goes to kindergarten and doesn't know what a circle is, doesn't know what red and green are, and doesn't know what right and left are, by the time he learns those things, the rest of the class is far ahead of him.

C. Everett Koop

An athlete learns how to hold her breath, but that doesn't work in singing. You have to learn to relax.

Cathy Rigby

A real good artist learns to be a better person through all the changes they've been through. They keep their loving and honesty growing and learn to look at the world and not be full of hatred.

Charles Bradley

The biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.

Charles Kettering

We often say that the biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee to fail intelligently... to experiment over and over again and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.

Charles Kettering

He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.

Confucius

Every German child learns to speak English in school.

Cornelia Funke

One learns in life to keep silent and draw one's own confusions.

Cornelia Otis Skinner

In schools giving students a full education, not to create great artists but about the right to have full expression and imagination and creativity, along with an acknowledgement that everybody learns differently. You try and you fail and you try again. All those skills are useful in the workplace, too.

Damian Woetzel

The thing that's going to make artificial intelligence so powerful is its ability to learn, and the way AI learns is to look at human culture.

Dan Brown

Everyone learns from their experiences.

Dana Perino

In golf, no one learns to hit a draw, a fade, or a cut shot until they've been taught how to hit the ball straight. Similarly, novice poker players need to learn how to 'hit it straight' before taking on more difficult concepts.

Daniel Negreanu

So, it becomes an exercise in futility if you write something that does not express the film as the director wishes. It's still their ball game. It's their show. I think any successful composer learns how to dance around the director's impulses.

Danny Elfman

The reason it's called 'The Heart of Robin Hood' is that he starts off not having a heart - or certainly not being in contact with it. And through a series of stories, he learns to discover that he has one. He becomes much more dramatic as a character, to be honest, because there's something rather too smug about the endless do-gooder.

David Farr

The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent.

David Mamet

Personally, I feel that a company which looks at problems of other companies and learns from their mistakes is a successful one.

Dilip Shanghvi

Now Congress learns that the Veterans Administration failed to provide complete, accurate information on the money it needs for both this year and next year.

Doc Hastings

Every sentence has a truth waiting at the end of it and the writer learns how to know it when he finally gets there.

Don DeLillo

God knows why nobody ever learns from the preceding generation - but they don't.

Doris Lessing

I didn't want to do 'The Fluffy Puppy Learns to Hold Hands!' or 'Kitty Gets a Box to Play In!' There's a place for that for the little ones - some kids need that stuff. But I'm too dark and sarcastic.

Drew Daywalt

He who lives by the crystal ball soon learns to eat ground glass.

Edgar Fiedler

The questions I am often asked about my career tend to concentrate not on how one learns to code but how a woman does.

Ellen Ullman

What an artist learns matters little. What he himself discovers has a real worth for him, and gives him the necessary incitement to work.

Emil Nolde

In order to produce learned fear, you take a neutral stimulus like a tone, and you pair it with an electrical shock. Tone, shock. Tone, shock. So the animal learns that the tone is bad news. But you can also do the opposite - shock it at other times, but never when the tone comes on.

Eric Kandel

Certainly it is valuable to a trained writer to crash in an aircraft which burns. He learns several important things very quickly. Whether they will be of use to him is conditioned by survival. Survival, with honor, that outmoded and all-important word, is as difficult as ever and as all-important to a writer.

Ernest Hemingway

It is mother's influence during the crucial formative years that forms a child's basic character. Home is the place where a child learns faith, feels love, and thereby learns from mother's loving example to choose righteousness.

Ezra Taft Benson

Selling cookies is usually a girl's first exposure to the world of business. She learns how to meet the public, talk about a product, sell the product, and is responsible for collecting money, giving change, and delivering the product. That's quite a business venture for a 7-year-old.

Frances Hesselbein

One learns little more about a man from the feats of his literary memory than from the feats of his alimentary canal.

Frank Moore Colby

One learns about painting by looking at and imitating other painters.

Frank Stella
