This quote emphasizes the importance of active participation in the learning process.
There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living. - from Live Without Principle
Henry David Thoreau
Love, love is like the future, you never know what you're gonna get. I've learned to take love like I take life, one step at a time. We need love. Without love, our lives would be nothing, our lives would be as dull as a cardboard box. Love is what makes us strong, when everything else seems to be going wrong. Nothing can stop love from reaching us, not even a broken heart.
Nikke Nichole Paine
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.
Upton Sinclair
Friends are an aid to the young, to guard them from error; to the elderly, to attend to their wants and to supplement their failing power of action; to those in the prime of life, to assist them to noble deeds.
Aristotle
The greatest testament of a life lived is to be missed when you are gone. It is not something you can plan for or buy ahead of time. It is a sentiment that comes freely from the lives you touch in positive ways.
Brian MacLearn
I had great faith in Irish actors, that they'd be hip to the whole theatre thing, and they are. I had no illusions of coming over here as some kind of big shot. It's been a learning experience for me too.
Christopher Meloni
A pun does not commonly justify a blow in return. But if a blow were given for such cause, and death ensued, the jury would be judges both of the facts and of the pun, and might, if the latter were of an aggravated character, return a verdict of justifiable homicide.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
I need to do things on my own, need to be left alone.
Henry Rollins
The truth that is suppressed by friends is the readiest weapon of the enemy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
...And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge.
Sir Winston Churchill
To know all is not to forgive all. It is to despise everybody.
Quentin Crisp
