At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender in its place was as honorable as resistance especially if one had no choice.

One of the things I was taught in law school is that I'd never be able to think the same again - that being a lawyer is something that's part of who I am as an individual now.

I really believe I've been a good person. Not perfect - forget about perfect - but just learning by what I was taught and living by my own values. I might have stepped on a few ants - and a few other things as well - but I've never hurt anybody.

Someone taught me how to eat properly. Learning from others is important when it's not working for yourself.

I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.

Leadership cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.

They taught us because they wanted to pass the knowledge on and educate young musicians. It was not because they had to teach because they failed as musicians. There is a huge difference in the reasons why someone is teaching and what they can offer and what they cannot offer.

My whole life I had been taught to read and study to seek understanding in knowledge of history of cultures.

The shortest and surest way of arriving at real knowledge is to unlearn the lessons we have been taught to mount the first principles and take nobody's word about them.

When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge.

Grandchildren have taught me how important the future is. I try to look through their eyes and envision what's in their imagination. What's the world going to look like when they're my age? That really does take a huge imagination.

I don't like this idea of Method. I come from that school but what I was taught was that it's your imagination. You do your homework and you use your imagination.

One thing that being a scientist has taught me is that you can never be certain about anything. You never know the truth. You can only approach it and hope to get a bit nearer to it each time. You iterate towards the truth. You don't know it.

I practice yoga at home to a TV show called 'Inhale ' taught by Steve Ross. I figured that if the people on the show could stretch that deep then I could too. I ended up pulling my hip flexor. But that's how I met my husband. Paul was the physical therapist my coach called to meet with me after hours.

My grandmother always taught me 'If you don't have a home family and church you don't have anything.'

I was taught a lot of Bible at home and had a voracious appetite for reading the Bible.

There is a widespread difficulty in the Muslim world which has to do with how the people are taught about examining their own history. A whole range of stuff has been placed off limits.
