More Quotable Quotes of Note on Learning ...

Edith Hamilton
It has always seemed strange to me that in our endless discussions about education so little stress is laid on the pleasure of becoming an educated person, the enormous interest it adds to life. To be able to be caught up into the world of thought -- that is to be educated.

Ethel Barrymore

You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.


Henry B. Adams
A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.


Hannah More
It is not so important to know everything as to appreciate what we learn.

Goethe
Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.


James Baldwin
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
