I could start a war in 30 seconds. But some countries spend 100 years trying to find peace. Just like good manners peace has to be learned.

I've learned the importance of loving what you do. I have also learned more patience due to the nature of the music business.

I learned patience perseverance and dedication. Now I really know myself and I know my voice. It's a voice of pain and victory.

My childhood should have taught me lessons for my own fatherhood but it didn't because parenting can only be learned by people who have no children.

Such is the audacity of man that he hath learned to counterfeit Nature yea and is so bold as to challenge her in her work.

I'm so not stylish by nature but I've learned to work with what I have.

It is unfair to blame man too fiercely for being pugnacious he learned the habit from Nature.

The learned is happy nature to explore The fool is happy that he knows no more.

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage talking to the audience looking at them and smiling that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now but there are still moments of awkwardness.

For I have learned to look on nature not as in the hour of thoughtless youth but hearing oftentimes the still sad music of humanity.

My mother knew how to read music and everything. But I just kinda learned off of records. And so I was listening to records and I'd play 'em over and over.

I did direct two short movies. I learned many things and one of the things I learned was that I am not a director. It has to be visceral and it's not for me. I feel much more comfortable acting.

I learned a lesson which I didn't heed: Don't put yourself in your movies. It's too much.

When I got depressed I watched Bruce Lee movies. I learned everything from Bruce Lee.

I learned that we can do anything but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do but when you do them. Timing is everything.

I'm a morning person because I learned to write my novels while still practicing law. I would get to the office at 6:30 a.m. and write until other people arrived around 9. Now I still do that. I start at 6:30 or 7 and I'll write until 11 then take an hour off then work until about 2 p.m. By then my brain has had enough.

I could wake up six in the morning go downstairs and record. I learned how to use ProTools and everything. Whenever I felt it I could record.

What I couldn't help noticing was that I learned more about the novel in a morning by trying to write a page of one than I'd learned in seven years or so of trying to write criticism.

One thing I've very quickly learned is that if you wake up every morning worrying about what's in the press you would go completely and utterly potty.

I'm not one of those writers I learned about who get up in the morning put a piece of paper in their typewriter machine and start writing. That I've never understood.

My mom and my dad wanted my brother and I to have a better life you know better education better jobs. It was probably harder much much harder for my parents. When you're a kid you can learn a language much more easily I learned English in less than a year.

My mom used to tell me stories at night read books to me - and I read 'em over and over and over again. And you know what I learned from that? I went back and looked at everything - Why do I like reading the same stories over and over and over again? What was I some kind of nincompoop? No - the narrative gave me connection with my mom.

I've never had my brows done - I tweeze them myself. I used to watch my mom pluck her brows that's how I learned.
