Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people there is always some bend to it.

I'm blessed with a good pair of ears. That's how I fooled my piano teacher. I'd watch his fingers and I'd listen to it and I just kind of basically learned it by myself.

In other words if a teacher only teaches in one way then they conclude that the kids who can't learn well that way don't have the ability when in fact it may be that the way the teacher's teaching is not a particularly good match to the way those kids learn.

The teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.

He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.

I never had to learn English French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.

Study how water flows in a valley stream smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything - even mountains rivers plants and trees - should be your teacher.

A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.

The teacher is the one who gets the most out of the lessons and the true teacher is the learner.

I have learned silence from the talkative toleration from the intolerant and kindness from the unkind yet strange I am ungrateful to those teachers.

The professional must learn to be moved and touched emotionally yet at the same time stand back objectively: I've seen a lot of damage done by tea and sympathy.

I learnt pity sympathy and what it was like to be at the other end of the stick. Such lessons can't be learnt in lecture halls.

It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either.

We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy but by direct intercourse and sympathy.

The cure for sorrow is to learn something.

Grief is a normal and natural response to loss. It is originally an unlearned feeling process. Keeping grief inside increases your pain.

Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.

I've learned it's always better to have a small percentage of a big success than a hundred percent of nothing.

Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself.

I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.

Although in skating you compete with other people anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better learn more learn faster is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life.

Luxury is the wolf at the door and its fangs are the vanities and conceits germinated by success. When an artist learns this he knows where the danger is.

When I finish a picture I don't show it to anyone if I feel it's not good enough yet. I've learnt to listen to my partners and my friends. For me it's the biggest success if they like it.

I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
