Israel was born under the British mandate. We learned from the British what democracy means and how it behaves in a time of danger war and terror. We thank Britain for introducing freedom and respect of human rights both in normal and demanding circumstances.

We in the United States should be all the more thankful for the freedom and religious tolerance we enjoy. And we should always remember the lessons learned from the Holocaust in hopes we stay vigilant against such inhumanity now and in the future.

Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.

The new freedom of expression brought by the Internet goes far beyond politics. People relate to each other in new ways posing questions about how we should respond to people when all that we know about them is what we have learned through a medium that permits all kinds of anonymity and deception.

Men who want to support women in our struggle for freedom and justice should understand that it is not terrifically important to us that they learn to cry it is important to us that they stop the crimes of violence against us.

Children should have enough freedom to be themselves - once they've learned the rules.

I learned a long time ago that some people would rather die than forgive. It's a strange truth but forgiveness is a painful and difficult process. It's not something that happens overnight. It's an evolution of the heart.

I think we learn the most from imperfect relationships - things like forgiveness and compassion.

After my pregnancy I discovered I have an allergy to yeast. Problem is all the food I love has yeast in it. So I have to relearn how to cook.

We the chefs have a responsibility to learn about the chemical makeup of food!

I'm learning to hunt with rifles because if you think about it hunting gets you the healthiest meat - organic free-range food. It's a totally yuppie spin on what I thought was kind of a redneck occupation.

Learning about issues such as sustainability and locavorism are things that you need to have as part of you as a chef because it will make you cook more delicious food.

We trust something in a grocery store and assume it's good. We don't learn about the most precious thing in life-the food we put in our body. Educate yourself!

I'm reading a lot of different books but I always think I have to switch it up a little bit. It's like food - everything in moderation same with my books same with my reading. You read books that are good for you and you learn a lot of stuff then you read 'Fifty Shades of Grey ' which is like candy.

I think the most wonderful thing in the world is another chef. I'm always excited about learning new things about food.

Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet - the fish guy at your market the lady at the local diner farmers cheese makers. Ask questions try everything and eat up!

I learned very early that our health is always impaired by some excess either of food or abstinence and I never had any physician except myself.

What I've learned is I want to enjoy my life and food is a big part of it.

You need to put what you learn into practice and do it over and over again until it's a habit. I always say 'Seeing is not believing. Doing is believing.' There is a lot to learn about fitness nutrition and emotions but once you do you can master them instead of them mastering you.

Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.

I've learned there's a big difference between a long-focused value investor and a good short-seller. That difference is psychological and I think it falls into the realm of behavioral finance.

The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.

I was kind of surprised to learn how controlling I am. I never thought of myself in that way. I think the root of the control issues is usually fear because you want to know what's going to be happening at any given moment.

With all of the divisiveness that is going on in the country we live in so much of it is based around just fear of the other. And anyone who does not look like me walk like me talk like me have sex like me they're the other and I'm afraid of them. And hopefully we will learn that it's just not scary. There's nothing to be afraid of.
