I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I've definitely learned a lot.

Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours but give the time when you are asked.

Learning should be a joy and full of excitement. It is life's greatest adventure it is an illustrated excursion into the minds of the noble and the learned.

Never seem wiser nor more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like your watch in a private pocket: and do not merely pull it out and strike it merely to show that you have one.

Not to unlearn what you have learned is the most necessary kind of learning.

What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know.

I learned the value of hard work by working hard.

I never learned from a man who agreed with me.

We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.

I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and besides the pig likes it.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands you need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned that people will forget what you said people will forget what you did but people will never forget how you made them feel.

You have to enable and empower people to make decisions independent of you. As I've learned each person on a team is an extension of your leadership if they feel empowered by you they will magnify your power to lead.

In the military I learned that 'leadership' means raising your hand and volunteering for the tough important assignments.

The one thing I have learned as a CEO is that leadership at various levels is vastly different. When I was leading a function or a business there were certain demands and requirements to be a leader. As you move up the organization the requirements for leading that organization don't grow vertically they grow exponentially.

What I've really learned over time is that optimism is a very very important part of leadership.

And I'd say one of the great lessons I've learned over the past couple of decades from a management perspective is that really when you come down to it it really is all about people and all about leadership.

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

The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.

The most important thing I learned as a foreign correspondent in about 80 countries is that it takes a very shallow knowledge of history to think that there are solutions to most problems.

I hope to attend it as Japan needs to tell the world the lessons knowledge and reflections learned from the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant.

Learned men are the cisterns of knowledge not the fountainheads.

I have learned throughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge.
