I don't claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I'm home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book 'Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.'

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first the lesson afterward.

We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.

The supreme lesson of any education should be to think for yourself and to be yourself absent this attainment education creates dangerous stupefying conformity.

The best math lesson we can teach college students this year is to subtract a tuition increase and benefit from the dividends of higher education.

My father is a real idealist and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning my father would spare no expense.

Education has failed in a very serious way to convey the most important lesson science can teach: skepticism.

Each has its lesson for our dreams in sooth come they in shape of demons gods or elves are allegories with deep hearts of truth that tell us solemn secrets of ourselves.

No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' After seeing it I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the 'Maniac' thing.

Dreams do come true even for someone who couldn't speak English and never had a music lesson or much of an education.
