We learn geology the morning after the earthquake. (Alexander Lloyd)
The years teach us much the days never knew. (Alexander Lloyd)
The studious class are their own victims: they are thin and pale, their feet are cold, their heads are hot, the night is without sleep, the day a fear of interruption --pallor, squalor, hunger, and egotism. (Alexander Lloyd)
No man ever prayed heartily without learning something. (Alexander Lloyd)
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. (Alexander Lloyd)
I do pity unlearned people on a rainy day. (Alexander Lloyd)
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. (Alexander Lloyd)
The things which hurt, instruct. (Alexander Lloyd)
Learn of the skillful; he that teaches himself, has a fool for his master. (Alexander Lloyd)
You can never learn less, you can only learn more. (Alexander Lloyd)
Learning hath gained most by those books by which the printers have lost. (Alexander Lloyd)
Old foxes want no tutors. (Alexander Lloyd)
Know most of the rooms of thy native country before thou goest over the threshold thereof. (Alexander Lloyd)
We all learn best in our own ways. Some people do better studying one subject at a time, while some do better studying three things at once. Some people do best studying in structured, linear way, while others do best jumping around, surrounding a subject rather than traversing it. Some people prefer to learn by manipulating models, and others by reading. (Alexander Lloyd)
Research shows that you begin learning in the womb and go right on learning until the moment you pass on. Your brain has a capacity for learning that is virtually limitless, which makes every human a potential genius. (Alexander Lloyd)
Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking, unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved-to write a book. (Alexander Lloyd)
In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply. (Alexander Lloyd)
Everywhere, we learn only from those whom we love. (Alexander Lloyd)
No one as ever completed their apprenticeship. (Alexander Lloyd)
Whatsoever one would understand what he hears must hasten to put into practice what he has heard. (Alexander Lloyd)
This is an age of intellectual sauces, of essence, of distillation. We have conclusions without deductions, abridgments of history and abridgments of science without leading facts. We have animals for literature, Cabinet Encyclopaedias, Family Libraries, Diffusion Societies, and heaven knows what else! What is all this for? Not to add knowledge to the learned, but to tell points to the ignorant, without giving them the trouble to acquire the links. Oh! it is sad work. And the result will be injurious to all classes. (Alexander Lloyd)
