Except for a few guitar chords, everything I've learned in my life that is of any value I've learned from women
View quotes by Glenn Frey
As a singer, I've had many opportunities to travel, and one thing I've learned is that through my music, I can be accepted by people all over the world. I often wonder why so many of us can't accept people who are different here, in our country? It's just not fair to be prejudiced against those whose race, religion or colour aren't the same as ours.

On his own history with mathematics, and connection with John Nash:
'I had a bit of a hiccup in the third year of high school. The school I was at hired a non-English speaking Hungarian who was a professional of some great standing in Eastern Europe. But he hadn't learned the English language yet. He probably is a great asset to the teaching staff now, but we were his first class. That was when mathematics and I parted ways.
'There's a lot of mathematics in music. It's all in groups of eight, mate, y'know. The one thing that I may have in common with John is that the subject matter I do know, the driving part of my life, my work life, there's a point where structure and scaffolding is left behind and intuition takes over. That's the difference between John and the next 100 mathematicians. He's fully prepared to leave the scaffolding behind and get into the ether of the equation and find the answer quicker. The bane of his existence, however, is finding the proof.'

I've learned you can make a mistake and the whole world doesn't end. I had to learn to allow myself to make a mistake without becoming defensive and unforgiving.
View quotes by Lisa Kudrow
I've learned that you'll never be disappointed if you always keep an eye on uncharted territory, where you'll be challenged and growing and having fun.

My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.

The Govenment has tried everything to solve the problem of the coal industry - semi-starvation, imprisonment, extortion, threats, the supplication of the miner's leaders, and what is the almost omnipotence of Churchill's oratory. All have failed. There is one thing they have not tried. They haven't tried getting rid of the coal owners. For the one truth the Government has not yet learned is .... you can get coal without the coal owners, but you can't get coal without miners.

If there is one thing in life that I have learned about life it is... it goes on.

I got all the schooling any actress needs. That is, I learned to write enough to sign contract
View quotes by Hermione Gingold
Like most of those who study history, he (Napoleon III) learned from the mistakes of the past how to make new ones.
View quotes by A J P Taylor
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
View quotes by Gilda Radner
I have learned to live each day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us.
View quotes by Dorothy Dix
"Blessed is he who has learned to laugh at himself, for he shall never cease to be entertained."
View quotes by John Powell
Even for learned men, love of fame is the last thing to be given up.
View quotes by Tacitus
I think the one lesson I have learned is that there is no substitute for paying attention.
View quotes by Diane Sawyer
I learned there's a big difference between juniors and the pros.
View quotes by Maria Sharapova
In language, the ignorant have prescribed laws to the learned. (Maxims, 1830)
View quotes by Richard Duppa
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten
View quotes by B F Skinner
I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong
View quotes by Leo Rosten
Misquotation is, in fact, the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely-read man never quotes accurately, for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.
