If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself. – Charles M. Schulz
I used to pre-rehearse everything and then bring my pre-rehearsed performance to the set. Now, I’m learning to let it happen in the moment. American actors are much better at that than British actors. If I knew how to trust myself, I would have been much more relaxed. Maybe I would have less gray hairs today. – Hugh Grant
Everything I’ve done I’ve always kind of jumped in headfirst, and it’s been a learning curve. Even MuchMusic, I had never done live television before, and all of a sudden you show up, and they’re like, ‘You ready kid? Let’s go.’ – Hannah Simone
The thing about music is it’s not an obscure pursuit, it’s a very natural thing for human beings to do. Once you put in the effort, the learning curve is very fast. – Grimes
My biggest thing is, I’m learning what it’s like to carry myself in a personal way and also a professional way: how I can be a leader and do multitasking. – Genevieve Padalecki
That is not enough. Sport has been great for me, a great learning place that if you want to achieve you can, even if you are from the poorest part of Africa. – Haile Gebrselassie
I met my wife in New York, so, we lived together there for five years, so my Swedish was kind of a gradual learning process. – Greg Poehler
I’m learning slowly to not be as much of a control freak. I can’t afford to be all the time, but I’m getting better at communicating. Delegating parts of my vision for other people to execute has made it an easier process for knowing what I want, and what people can handle, and what I should probably save for myself. – Halsey
Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve. – Henry David Thoreau
In ‘Three Cups of Tea’ I was fairly critical of the military. And I mentioned that they’re laptop warriors and there’s no boots on the ground. But I can say now that they’ve gone through a tremendous learning curve. – Greg Mortenson
I avoid the media circus, keep my head down and try to keep growing and learning things. – Georgie Fame
I used to pre-rehearse everything and then bring my pre-rehearsed performance to the set. Now, I’m learning to let it happen in the moment. American actors are much better at that than British actors. If I knew how to trust myself, I would have been much more relaxed. – Hugh Grant
I’d go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light; I’d take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That’s how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques. – Herb Ritts
There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge – that is everywhere. – Hermann Hesse
Shake any institution of higher learning, and a dozen boycotters will fall out of it. – Howard Jacobson
My father is a real idealist, and he’s all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up, it was just a resounding ‘No.’ But if I asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and I’d be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense. – Hugh Jackman
In the transmission of human culture, people always attempt to replicate, to pass on to the next generation the skills and values of the parents, but the attempt always fails because cultural transmission is geared to learning, not DNA. – Gregory Bateson
Pop songs are not as graceful as they used to be. Performers today haven’t gone through the regimen of learning how to write. And of course, everyone wants to own copyrights. – Hal David
I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people. I’ve had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people, and sometimes I just sit there and listen. It’s like a better version of a class. Even though I’m not sitting at a desk and in school, I’m still learning all the time. – Hayden Panettiere
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. – George Bernard Shaw
Students who are interested in learning about the environment should not be dissuaded from doing so, but only if they have proved their proficiency in other basic courses, such as U.S. history. Until then, we need to focus on producing well-educated citizens steeped in their country’s history and mindful of their civic responsibilities. – George Nethercutt
I’m a terrible actor. I’m still learning. When I first started, I wish I knew then to trust myself more, really. I was in a terrible panic in the early part of my career. – Hugh Grant
To be dogmatic about a cause you believe in at the age of 20 or 30 is not unusual. But to be dogmatic at age 55 or 60 shows a lack of any learning capacity. – Howard Fast
As educators, we are only as effective as what we know. If we have no working knowledge of what students studied in previous years, how can we build on their learning? If we have no insight into the curriculum in later grades, how can we prepare learners for future classes? – Heidi Hayes Jacobs
We can revolutionize the attitude of inner city brown and black kids to learning. We need a civil rights movement within the African-American community. – Henry Louis Gates
