“The mark of the man of the world is absence of pretension. He does not make a speech; he takes a low business-tone, avoids all brag, is nobody, dresses plainly, promises not at all, performs much, speaks in monosyllables, hugs his fact. He calls his employment by its lowest name, and so takes from evil tongues their sharpest weapon. His conversation clings to the weather and the news, yet he allows himself to be surprised into thought, and the unlocking of his learning and philosophy.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“If you teach a man anything, he will never learn”
Bernard Shaw
“When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something”
“The learned man will not rest until he finds the one to learn more from.”
Mariana Fulger
“Sell a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish, you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.”
Karl Marx
“Immigration really disrupted the social fabric back in Germany when the younger people left. We only know about this because someone saved these letters back in the 1800s and without them we have no clue as to what happened and what people had to deal with back then.”
Ray Grasshoff
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
Nelson Mandela
