You could never teach other people anything that mattered. The important things they had to learn for themselves, almost always by making mistakes, so that the lessons arrived too late to help. Experience was in that sense useless. It was precisely what could not be passed along in a lesson.

 
Kim Stanley Robinson
 

Don't learn from other people's mistakes. That's the worst advice you could ever get. Other people are f**king morons. Wrestling's the number one show on cable television. You're gonna learn from their mistakes? They're f**kin' tools! You might be the first guy who could to do it right and be a hero for all of us. Take a chance and learn to fly there, Orville Wright!

 
Doug Stanhope
 

It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.

 
Steve Maraboli
 

Are my competitors making some mistakes? Yes they are. But I'll tell you this: Sony is a formidable company and I respect them and I don't take them lightly. We have to do what we need to do, let them do what they're going to do. If they continue to make mistakes, that's their problem, not mine. We are focused on making sure that we are going to be successful.

 
Reggie Fils-Aime
 

How can anyone believe that you can "learn" how to feel and learn how to express it? How can anyone teach another person how to laugh and how to cry? How to be cheerful and how to be sad? Teach them what pain is, and despair, and desire, and passion? Hate and love? How can anyone waste their own and somebody else's time with that idiocy? But far worse than the morons who think they can learn these things are the people who claim they can teach them. In the end, they teach bad manners. If one of their trained poodles sits down in public, he doesn't sit, he slouches - which is supposed to mean that his behavior is "natural." He or she scratches his or her head then picks his or her nose, which is supposed to mean that he or she has no complexes and acts very spontaneously. So this is what New York talk shows look like.
