"Science is organised knowledge. Wisdom is organised life."

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."
"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens."
"Learning is an experience. Everything else is just information."

"It’s taken me all my life to learn what not to play."
"I was obliged to be industrious. Whoever is equally industrious will succeed equally well."
"Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself."
"Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is."
"Education is not preparation; education is life itself."
"You do not learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and falling over."
"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it."
"Gold has a price, but learning is priceless."
"Learning never exhausts the mind."
"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere."
"The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice."
"Mistakes are great, the more I make the smarter I get."
