Our learning ought to be our lives' amendment and the fruits of our private study ought to appear in our public behavior.

I make personal appearances around the country. I'm starting a book tour now and I may be coming to Toronto with the Learning Annex which I'm doing all through the United States so that may come up just before Christmas.

Perhaps to the uninformed it may appear unaccountable that a man should be able to retain in his memory such a variety of learning but the close alliance with each other of the different branches of science will explain the difficulty.

Without feeling abashed by my ignorance I confess that I am absolutely unable to say. In the absence of an appearance of learning my answer has at least one merit that of perfect sincerity.

I've finally learnt how to say 'No comment'. To appear in the tabloids is a real learning curve and a steep one at that. You had better learn quick or you get burnt.

What society doesn't realize is that in the past ordinary people respected learning. They respected books and they don't now or not very much. That whole respect for serious literature and learning has disappeared.

Leadership appears to be the art of getting others to want to do something you are convinced should be done.

This administration and the leadership in Congress appear to be intent on valuing wealth over work thereby placing working families at a distinct disadvantage.

I believe that the capacity that any organisation needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed when it is needed.

If a window of opportunity appears don't pull down the shade.
