Education is necessary to unlearn privilege, unlearn exclusion, unlearn discrimination, unlearn prejudice, unlearn war.

Alfred-Maurice de Zayas

Alfred-Maurice de Zayas

Antisthenes

Your life is a learning process - you can only become wiser from learning. Sometimes you might have to attract making a painful mistake to learn something important, but after the mistake you have far greater wisdom. Wisdom cannot be bought with money - it can only be acquired through living life. With wisdom comes strength, courage, knowing, and an ever-increasing peace.

Rhonda Byrne

The post area I had to unlearn. And yeah, now it's a relearning process. It's different. It's learning what works and what doesn't work.

Chris Bosh

The first problem for all of us, men and woman, is not to learn, but to unlearn. We are filled with the popular wisdom of several centuries just past, and we are terrified to give it up. Patriotism means obedience, age means wisdom, woman means submission, black means inferior: these are preconceptions imbedded so deeply in our thinking that we honestly may not know that they are there.

Gloria Steinem

It is better to have wisdom without learning than learning without wisdom.

Charles Caleb Colton
