Learn

Famous quotes containing the word learn:

    How can one learn to know oneself? Never by introspection, rather by action. Try to do your duty, and you will know right away what you are like.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    In the continual enterprise of trying to guide appropriately, renegotiate with, listen to and just generally coexist with our teenage children, we ourselves are changed. We learn even more clearly what our base-line virtues are. We listen to our teenagers and change our minds about some things, stretching our own limits. We learn our own capacity for flexibility, firmness and endurance.
    —Jean Jacobs Speizer. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Collective, ch. 4 (1978)

    We can only learn to love by loving.
    Iris Murdoch (20th century)
