Learning a foreign language and the culture that goes with it is one of the most useful things we can do to broaden the empathy and imaginative sympathy and cultural outlook of children.

You can be self-empowered and still learning about how you think about things daily.

Yes. I did more research than I ever wanted to and saw some things I wish I didn't. I went on ride-alongs spent time with Homicide Cold Case and SVU detectives hung out in subways learning how to spot pervs and pick-pockets viewed an autopsy went to a police firing range and witnessed court cases and I read read read.

While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit.

The only things worth learning are the things you learn after you know it all.

These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle progress without compassion wealth without work learning without silence religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.

I would fain grow old learning many things.

A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things instead of like 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'

I never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions.

You make mistakes but I don't have any regrets. I'm the kind of person who takes responsibility for it and deals with it. I learn from everything I do. I work very hard I have so many things going on in my life. Get to know me and see who I am.

We are the creative force of our life and through our own decisions rather than our conditions if we carefully learn to do certain things we can accomplish those goals.

The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.

Leaders of the future will have to be visionary and be able to bring people in - real communicators. These are things that women bring to leadership and executive positions and it's going to be incredibly valuable and incredibly in demand.

Sport fosters many things that are good teamwork and leadership.

I don't agree with all-male leaderships. Men cannot be left to run things on their own. I think it's a thoroughly bad thing to have a men-only leadership.

One of the things about leadership is that you've got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you've got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position.

In terms of having views and being prepared to express them yes I think New Zealand's had a leadership role in a lot of things.

Obama is thoroughly mixed up with all these things he's got. He's got to solve Libya. He's got to solve Afghanistan. He's everywhere. And this nation I don't know why it's not showing the leadership and capacity to attend different issues at the same time.

I have never been afraid to stand up to the leadership on issues where we disagree. If you chose to keep Cambridge Labour then I can continue to press the Government for the things that matter to you in a way that members of the opposition are unable to.

The things journalists should pay attention to are the issues the political leadership agrees on rather than to their supposed antagonisms.

The more consistent a father can be or a mentor can be in the person's life and teach them principles of real solid manhood character integrity and leadership the more consistent you can be in the person's life and teach them those things at a younger age and then the better off they'll be.

Leadership is among other things the ability to inflict pain and get away with it - short-term pain for long-term gain.

Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline carrying it out.
