"We frequently fall into error and folly, not because the true principles of action are not known, but because for a time they are not remembered; he may, therefore, justly be numbered among the benefactors of mankind who contracts the great rules of life into short sentences that may early be impressed on the memory, and taught by frequent recollection to occur habitually to the mind. [i.e. proverbs, maxims, sayings, mnemonics, quotes]" - Francis Johnson

Great reformations, great revolutions in society, great eras in human progress and improvement, start from good words, right words, coined words, spoken in the fitting time, and finding their way to human hearts as easily as the birds find their homes." - Daniel March

[Quote No.19728] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"The foundation of knowledge must be laid by reading. General principles must be had from books, which, however, must be brought to the test of real life. In conversation you never get a system. What is said upon a subject is to be gathered from a hundred people. The parts of a truth, which a man gets thus, are at such a distance from each other, that be never attains to a full view." - Francis Johnson

[Quote No.19911] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"...You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full - time informal school called Life.
Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons.
You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is the process of trial and error: experimentation.
The 'failed' experiments are as much a part of the process,
as the experiment that ultimately works.
A lesson is repeated until learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms
until you have learned it.
When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.
Learning lessons does not end.
There is no part of Life that does not contain its lessons.
If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned..." - Cherie Carter - Scott
