Every failure teaches a man something, if he will but learn.
Before all masters, necessity is the one most listened to, and who teaches the best.
Knowledge of ourselves teaches us whence we come, where we are and whither we are going. We come from God and we are in exile; and it is because our potency of affection lends towards God that we are aware of this state of exile.
When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad. Being and non-being create each other. Difficult and easy support each other. Long and short define each other. High and low depend on each other. Before and after follow each other. Therefore the Master acts without doing anything and teaches without saying anything. Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go. She has but doesn't possess, acts but doesn't expect. When her work is done, she forgets it. That is why it lasts forever.
Pain's not bad, it's good. It teaches you things. I understand that.
The holy universal Church teaches that it is not possible to worship God truly except in Her.
Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.
But life is a great school. It thrashes and bangs and teaches you.
If God did not exist, He would have to be invented. But all nature cries aloud that he does exist: that there is a supreme intelligence, an immense power, an admirable order, and everything teaches us our own dependence on it.
What a life in science really teaches you is the vastness of our ignorance.
I think a huge part is how we're socialized growing up to see our value and worth as being tied into a relationship and how our culture teaches us a distorted sense of romantic love - can't live without you, can't breathe without you, I'll die without you. As teenage girls we believe that level of emotional intensity and dramatics equates with real love. We're also taught that if we date lots of people, then we're sluts, so at an early age we put all our eggs into one basket, so to speak, and concentrate on "the one".
He that teaches us anything which we knew not before is undoubtedly to be reverenced as a master.
Through service to others, we develop a Christlike love and we experience joy. Service teaches patience and long-suffering as well as gentleness, goodness, and faith.
The gospel teaches us that true beauty is more than skin-deep. A young woman whose countenance is aglow with both happiness and virtue radiates inner beauty.
Experience by itself teaches nothing. . . Without theory, experience has no meaning. Without theory, one has no questions to ask. Hence, without theory, there is no learning.
Life teaches us to be less harsh with ourselves and with others.
It's hard to let go anything we love. We live in a world which teaches us to clutch. But when we clutch we're left with a fistful of ashes.
Adversity in life teaches you.
Jesus teaches us to forgive and I've got to trust him on that one.
God teaches you to forgive people when they mistreat you. That's something that we have to do as Christians, as children of God. It's very hard to do. It's very, very hard. When someone lies on you, when someone tries to ruin your reputation, because everyone knows what kind of person I am.
