Learning Quotes

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

“Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.”

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.”

“The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.”

“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.”

“The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.”

“No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.”

I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun.”
