Quotes by Learning Our thinking and our behaviour are always in anticipation of a response. It is therefore fear-based. Deepak Chopra learningspiritualmotivational This type of man who is devoted to the study of wisdom is always most unlucky in everything, and particularly when it comes to procreating children; I imagine this is because Nature wants to ensure that the evils of wisdom shall not spread further throughout mankind.

Donald Knuth learningrootsevil One of the most difficult problems of our age is that leaders, and perhaps academics as well, cannot readily admit that things are out of control and that we do not know what to do. We have too much information, limited cognitive abilities to think in systemic terms and an unwillingness to appear to be in control and to have solutions for our problems.

Donald Michael Kraig learningconfusionthinking ...methods are more important than facts. The educational value of a problem given to a student depends mostly on how often the thought processes that are invoked to solve it will be helpful in later situations.

Deepak Chopra learningenergyrivers When certain concepts of TeX are introduced informally, general rules will be stated; afterwards you will find that the rules aren't strictly true.
