Learning is doingOne must learn by doing the thing; for though you think you know it, you have no certainty, until you try. Sophocles You don't understand the material until you can do the problems at the end of the chapter. Harry M. Kriz |
It's not always pleasantPersonally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught. Winston Churchill |

And it isn't always peacefulWhen there is much desire to learn, John Milton |

And a little might be dangerousIf a little knowldge is dangerous, where is a man who has so much as to be out of danger? Thomas Henry Huxley A little learning is not a dangerous thing to one who does not mistake it for a great deal. William Allen White A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad. Bob Edwards |

But learning never endsThe education of a man is never completed until he dies. Robert E. Lee Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. Henry Ford |

And the benefits endureWe see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not the verses of Homer continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter; during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, cities have been decayed and demolished? Francis Bacon |
