Best Quotes about Learning

There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.

Ambrose, St.

Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge.

The learned are mere literary drudges.

Hazlitt, William

16.

The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need. In other words, the less unnecessary effort you put into learning, the more successful you'll be... the key to faster learning is to use appropriate effort. Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.

Buzan, Tony

That's what learning is. You suddenly understand something you understood all your life, but in a new way.

Lessing, Doris

27.

This is an age of intellectual sauces, of essence, of distillation. We have conclusions without deductions, abridgments of history and abridgments of science without leading facts. We have animals for literature, Cabinet Encyclopaedias, Family Libraries, Diffusion Societies, and heaven knows what else! What is all this for? Not to add knowledge to the learned, but to tell points to the ignorant, without giving them the trouble to acquire the links. Oh! it is sad work. And the result will be injurious to all classes.
