Famous quotes containing the words learning and/or theory:

    And hiving wisdom with each studious year,
    In meditation dwelt, with learning wrought,
    And shaped his weapon with an edge severe,
    Sapping a solemn creed with solemn sneer.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The theory of truth is a series of truisms.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
