Why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as well as prohibition did in five years Americans would be the smartest race of people on Earth.

If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.

Without pain there would be no suffering without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right pain and suffering is the key to all windows without it there is no way of life.

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance one cannot fly into flying.

If we knew what it was we were doing it would not be called research would it?

Actually I don't ever think there will be a men-only team of leadership in the Labour party again. People would look at it and say 'What? Are there no women in the party to be part of the leadership? Do men want to do it all themselves?' It just won't happen again.

I'm floored that the House leadership would turn its back on job creation for Mississippians.

World War II had been such a tremendous success story for this country that the political and military leadership began to assume that they would prevail simply because of who they were. We were like the British at the turn of the 19th century.

The Chinese leadership hoped that the world would soon forget the Tiananmen Square massacre. Our job in Congress is to ensure that we never forget those who lost their lives in Tiananmen Square that day or the pro-democracy cause for which they fought.

There would not be enough talent that's educated developed and ready to take on the next leadership challenge and it would cap our growth. Now we've put programs in place not to have that happen but that could be a weakness.

Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it.

You can never stop and as older people we have to learn how to take leadership from the youth and I guess I would say that this is what I'm attempting to do right now.

At that time the army leadership said the implementation of this agreement would allow everyone including the IRA to take its political objectives forward by peaceful and democratic means.

But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.

Well football teams are perhaps easier to control than political parties I'm sure the Prime Minister would agree with me but yeah I think every team needs discipline and a sense of self-belief and that's important that's what leadership's all about.

In the present state of our knowledge it would be useless to attempt to speculate on the remote cause of the electrical energy... its relation to chemical affinity is however sufficiently evident. May it not be identical with it and an essential property of matter?

I think anyone about to leave one job not surprisingly would use their knowledge their experience their skills drawn from their previous positions to try and earn a living in the future. That's what happens in all interviews.

The function of the politician therefore is one of continuous watchfulness and activity and he must have intimate knowledge of details if he would work out grand results.

I would like to have the superpower of being able to touch a book and then gain all the knowledge out of that book without spending hours and days reading it.

It's hard for me to imagine that some people in the CIA who had firsthand knowledge would be unable to recognize that this would be helpful information for a soldier's death.

The Communist Party said that I must finish my studies because after the revolution in Germany people would be required with technical knowledge to take part in the building of the Communist Germany.

Experience alone can give a final answer. The knowledge gained in a few years by a commission of the kind suggested would be worth more than volumes of mere assertions and contradictions.

I had a traditional interview based on a phone call from an agent. He says there's a show and they would like to see you and its called Dallas. With very little knowledge I go over to this meeting at Warner Brothers.

Aging is an inevitable process. I surely wouldn't want to grow younger. The older you become the more you know your bank account of knowledge is much richer.
