More on Learning
“However much one generation learns from another, it can never learn from its predecessor the genuinely human factor. In this respect every generation begins afresh. Thus no generation has learned from another how to love, no generation can begin other than at the beginning.”
“A free soul ought not to pursue any study slavishly, for nothing that is learned under compulsion stays with the mind.”
“There is far greater peril in buying knowledge than in buying meat and drink.”
More on Experience
“Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.”
“One of the most valuable things any person can learn is the art of using the knowledge and experience of others.”
“Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.”
