Quotes about Lifelong Learning

I'm a big fan of quotations. When you consider how many words have been written in the span of human history, it's easy to believe that everything that can be said has already been said in a far more eloquent fashion than I could possibly articulate in a fresh and original way.

This blog, then, is primarily to convey what other people can't: My own experiences.

In the meantime, I thought I'd share a few quotes about lifelong learning that have spoken to me during my journey at Granite State College:

"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives." ~ Clay P. Bedford

"Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life." ~ Henry L. Doherty

"You learn something every day if you pay attention." ~ Ray LeBlond

"The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live." ~ Mortimer Adler

"Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will."
~ Vernon Howard

"No matter how one may think himself accomplished, when he sets out to learn a new language, science, or the bicycle, he has entered a new realm as truly as if he were a child newly born into the world." ~ Frances Willard

"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young." ~ Henry Ford

"The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn." ~ Henry S. Haskins

"The day you stop learning is the day you begin decaying." ~ Isaac Asimov
