When I think about my career, my successes are built on learning from failures. Satya Nadella

The objectification of females is not a good thing! Not every rapper does this, but when the lyrics focus solely on the strip club, 'poppin' bottles' and how many girls they can 'tap,' it distorts what kids are learning. I think if there was more of a female presence in hip hop we could break up the monotony. It's all about balance. Queen Latifah

Education in general, and higher education in particular, is on the brink of a huge disruption. Two big questions, which were once so well-settled that we ceased asking them, are now up for grabs.

A tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well. Dan Rather

Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment. Novalis

Design, refine and repeat, and keep learning all the way along. It sounds bland and pedestrian, but in fact, it's the reverse. Anouska Hempel

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. Benjamin Franklin

Never stand still. Only stand still enough to learn, and once you stop learning in that stance, move off. Always keep yourself engaged, in theater, in whatever job you can get. If you can't get an acting job, then go backstage. Or take tickets. But be around actors because that is where you will primarily learn. Ed Asner

It always seems to me so odd that when a man dies, he takes out with him all the knowledge that he has got in his lifetime whilst sowing his wild oats or winning successes. And he leaves his sons or younger brothers to go through all the work of learning it over again from their own experience. Robert Baden-Powell

The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. Gloria Steinem

The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. Will Smith

I think this industry can be tough on everyone. You have to surround yourself with supportive people and know when to put your foot down and do what's best for you and your family.

No man is the wiser for his learning; it may administer matter to work in, or objects to work upon; but wit and wisdom are born with a man. John Selden

Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things. Flora Lewis

My father was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. His family is from Spain. My father never taught me how to speak Spanish when I was little. That's very disappointing to me.

I became a human jukebox, learning all these songs I'd always known, discovering the basics of what I do. The cathartic part was in the essential act of singing. When is it that the voice becomes an elixir? It's during flirting, courtship, sex. Music's all that. Jeff Buckley

As I enter a new phase of life and my circle broadens, I start learning new things. Kapil Dev

I love 'Mastermind'. It's touching that people spend so much time learning. I do have quite good general knowledge, but I wouldn't consider going on the show. I also like watching 'Only Connect.' Diana Rigg

Part of my training was learning how to refer patients to cardiologists for heart problems, gastroenterologists for stomach issues, and rheumatologists for joint pain.

I am still learning. Michelangelo

Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time. Joel Edgerton

The computer is my favourite invention. I feel lucky to be part of the global village. I don't mean to brag, but I'm so fast with technology. People think it all seems too much, but we'll get used to it. I'm sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk. Yoko Ono

I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible. Manfred von Richthofen

My philosophy is my learning process. Until you die, you must evolve and improve. Miyavi

Many institutions of higher learning will grant an 18- to 30-month deferral to prospective missionaries.

I grew up in the southern United States in a city which at that time during the late '40's and early '50's was the most segregated city in the country, and in a sense learning how to oppose the status quo was a question of survival. Angela Davis

No one ever said learning was to be easy, but it's part of the process of evolving as a human being, and we all have to go through it.

What people actually refer to as research nowadays is really just Googling. Dermot Mulroney

I like a challenge. I like learning new skills because I didn't learn much at school. Bernard Sumner

Scholastic learning and polemical divinity retarded the growth of all true knowledge. David Hume

My brothers and sisters have achieved so much in their lives and have had so much success, but I'm just 17, so I'm still growing and learning.

In 'Chappie,' you see this sort of young robot that's learning through maybe 'deep learning' how to see the world really, look out into the world, and learn step by step.

I would argue that education, actual learning - it is hard work. It's very personal. Your parents don't teach you anything. Your teachers don't teach you anything.

I guess I'm a good manager now. Moreover, I'm loving the concept of donning the producer's hat. It's all very exciting as well as a great learning experience. You're a part of a film right from its conception to its execution, and that's an amazing feeling. Malaika Arora Khan

I never learned from a man who agreed with me. Robert A. Heinlein

It is important for me to remember that time learning anything substantial, even if it's not my favourite topic, is time well used. Ann Makosinski

W. E. B. Du Bois

I really want to emphasise this - 'Strictly' is a positive show.
