It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning.

I became CEO at the beginning of the hit on old economy stocks. When something like that occurs in your first six months as a CEO of a more traditional branded firm it makes for a fast learning curve.

My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy ever if you want something you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else practice makes perfect.

It helps immerse yourself in what you potentially want to do. Being involved learning firsthand and observing the craft and absorbing all you can makes it easier to define what you want. It will also ultimately make you a better Chef. Culinary school or even a single class is a great bet too.

What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school but a different way of looking at the world and learning.

Life is a series of experiences each one of which makes us bigger even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.

We have a country to turn around. This week you will nominate the most experienced executive to seek the presidency in 60 years in Mitt Romney. He has no illusions about what makes America great and he doesn't confuse the presidency with celebrity or loftiness with leadership.

Everyone who's ever taken a shower has an idea. It's the person who gets out of the shower dries off and does something about it who makes a difference.

The knowledge that makes us cherish innocence makes innocence unattainable.

One of the things that makes our military the best in the world is the certain knowledge of each soldier sailor airman and Marine that they can always count on their comrades should they need help - that they will never be abandoned.

Basically I was a rebel growing up. I got kicked out of six schools. But I don't think that it makes you less of an intellect. You know if you ever crave knowledge there's always a library.

Knowledge is going to make you stronger. Knowledge is going to let you control your life. Knowledge is going to give you the wisdom to teach their children. Knowledge is the thing that makes you smile in the face of disaster.

Knowledge is that possession that no misfortune can destroy no authority can revoke and no enemy can control. This makes knowledge the greatest of all freedoms.

Western civilization unfortunately does not link knowledge and morality but rather it connects knowledge and power and makes them equivalent.

Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge it is thinking that makes what we read ours.

What makes the pain we feel from shame and jealousy so cutting is that vanity can give us no assistance in bearing them.

Jealousy is I think the worst of all faults because it makes a victim of both parties.

I'm fascinated by the journey that an intelligent and an ambitious woman makes in the professional world in contrast to the journey that a man of similar ambition of similar intelligence makes. What sort of concessions does a woman have to make? Does she have to work 20 percent harder than a man?

For 13 to be unlucky would require there to be some kind of cosmic intelligence that counts things that humans count and that also makes certain things happen on certain dates or in certain places according to whether the number 13 'is involved' or not (whatever 'is involved' might mean).

It takes intelligence to make real comedy and it takes a reality base to create all that little stuff I like to do that makes you giggle inside.

A smart man makes a mistake learns from it and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.

President Obama called for a 'we' nation in his Inauguration Address. Art convenes. It is not just inspirational. It is aspirational. It pricks the walls of our compartmentalized minds opens our hearts and makes us brave. And that's what we need most in our country today.

I believe there's an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.
