There are no mistakes in life - only lessons. Lessons to be learnt and re-learnt until they are no longer lessons.

Cherie Carter-Scott

My father spoke with something very similar to a 1920s newscaster type of English, and I learnt that accent of power in post-colonial Zimbabwe. So I learnt that, and I learnt how to copy it, and I learnt how to shift in and out of it, but also talk like my mother's relatives in the village.

Rege-Jean Page

No education is worth having that does not teach the lesson of concentration on a task, however unattractive. These lessons, if not learnt early, will be learnt, if at all, with pain and grief in later life.

Cyril Connolly

I think the way things have been left after Iraq is that people won't believe the Government of the day, so they have to know that lessons have been learnt and that all political parties and people, whether they were for or against the invasion of Iraq, have learnt lessons.

William Hague

Slowly I learnt the ways of humans: how to ruin, how to hate, how to debase, how to humiliate. And at the feet of my Master I learnt the highest of human skills, the skill no other creature owns: I finally learnt how to lie.

Nick Dear

I grew up in a world with my father where you learnt to iron, you learnt to cook, you learnt how to clean the toilet... I want my children to be the same... I want them to be anywhere in the world and be able to cope.

John Torode

I have learnt a lot from my brother and he too has learnt a lot from me. It has been a wonderful journey for both of us. We convince each other all the time with our view points and finally work as a team and not as individuals.

Rajesh Roshan

I learnt violin at school and hated it. I wish I'd learnt guitar or piano.

Declan Donnelly

School was a very cruel environment and I was a loner. But I learnt to get hurt and I learnt to cope with it.

Kate Bush

School was a very cruel environment, and I was a loner. But I learnt to get hurt, and I learnt to cope with it.

Kate Bush

I have always found it difficult to study. I have learnt almost entirely what I have learnt by trying it out on the dog.

Ralph Vaughan Williams

The Chinese government learnt how to manage the Internet from Western developed countries; we have not learnt enough yet.

Lu Wei

I doubt if anything learnt at school is of more value than great literature learnt by heart.

Richard Livingstone

The moral values I've learnt in my life I've learnt through football.

Arsene Wenger

I come from a family with many dancers, my aunts learnt dance, so did Kamal Haasan and, as a child I learnt it, too.

Suhasini Maniratnam

I learnt a lot about myself, I learnt a lot about other people and the problems they have. If I was lucky enough to live to a hundred, how I will feel about two per cent of my life being that way, I don't know.
