Learned Quotes
-
Without my attempts in natural science, I should never have learned to know mankind such as it is. In nothing else can we so closely approach pure contemplation and thought, so closely observe the errors of the senses and of the understanding, the weak and strong points of character.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
Dharma is that which is enjoined by the holy books, followed by the sages, interpreted by the learned and which appeals to the heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
I loved talking to Sam Hodges. He was always very interesting, and I felt like I learned something every time I talked to him. I thought he was a fascinating man - maybe tough to work for, but he knew his business. He was extremely intelligent and fun to talk to.
John Young
-
I realize that some people will not believe that a child of little more than ten years is capable of having such feelings. My story is not intended for them. I am telling it to those who have a better knowledge of man. The adult who has learned to translate a part of his feelings into thoughts notices the absence of these thoughts in a child, and therefore comes to believe that the child lacks these experiences, too. Yet rarely in my life have I felt and suffered as deeply as at that time.
Hermann Hesse
-
But most of all, I learned that it’s possible for two people to fall in love all over again, even when there’s been a lifetime of disappointment between them.
Nicholas Sparks
-
I’ve learned that by doing things, things get done.
Ray Bradbury
-
I have no memory for things I have learned, nor things I have read, nor things experienced or heard, neither for people nor events; I feel that I have experienced nothing, learned nothing, that I actually know less than the average schoolboy, and that what I do know is superficial, and that every second question is beyond me. I am incapable of thinking deliberately; my thoughts run into a wall. I can grasp the essence of things in isolation, but I am quite incapable of coherent, unbroken thinking. I can't even tell a story properly; in fact, I can scarcely talk.
Franz Kafka
-
You never say never. That's one of the lessons I've learned.
Kamaru Usman
-
When I learned of Aunt Dimity's death, I was stunned. Not because she was dead, but because I had never known she'd been alive.
Nancy Atherton
-
I have always had a reputation for being frugal - less kind people might call me cheap. But my interest in building up a nest egg goes back to those days in Arnhem when I learned that money can grow, just like trees.
Audrey Hepburn
-
I've learned to control everything. I don't get angry at anything. Somebody can do me wrong. That's life. What good is it to get angry?
Jack Roy
-
I always thought of men as being hard—maybe because I was hard. But there was a softness in Tom that betrayed his large masculine hands and his deep baritone voice. He knew something about love that I didn’t. I don’t know where he’d learned it, but it wasn’t something you got from a book, not something you could learn in an online class, not something you could borrow. Maybe it was something you were born with. Some people knew how to love and some people didn’t. Tom was the former. I was the latter. I didn’t know which one of us had it worse.
Benjamin Alire Saenz
