Learners Quotes
-
The alphabet will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls. They will trust the written characters and not remember themselves.
Socrates
-
A large library is apt to distract rather than to instruct the learner; it is much better to be confined to a few authors than to wander at random over many.
Seneca the Younger
-
I don't divide the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and failures...I divide the world into the learners and non-learners.
Benjamin Barber
-
I divide the word into learners and nonlearners. There are people who learn, who are open to what happens around them, who listen, who hear the lessons. When they do something stupid, they don't do it again. And when they do something that works a little bit, they do it even better and harder the next time. The question to ask is not whether you are a success or a failure, but whether you are a learner or a nonlearner.
Benjamin Barber
-

John Dalton
-
Then let every one of us, being warned by this sentence of the angel, acknowledge that he as yet cleaves to first principles, or, at least, does not comprehend all those things which are necessary to be known; and that therefore progress is to be made to the very end of life: for this is our wisdom, to be learners to the end.
John Calvin
