“We cannot say we have done everything perfectly because nothing is perfect. For me, it is a learning curve – a painful and difficult learning curve. Yes, we probably or definitely did not explore all the options and we would, going forward, take all that on board, roll our sleeves up again and get on with it.”

“It goes without saying that the science of astronomy is the highest grade subject of learning. To my thinking, it is scientifically related to all other subjects of learning, and is the foundation of basic education for all human race. What is more, it is the primal basis that uplifts one and all men intellectually.”
Yonosuke Nakano (1887–1974) said by 1974 at the latest wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source

Kathryn Parsons (born 1982) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“My approach to effective teaching and learning is akin to manoeuvring a railway handcar whereby both learner and teacher work as partners in an environment conducive to learning.”
Pascale Guiton wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“It can be as simple as using technology and complementing that with a teacher, or adding different aspects like peer-to-peer learning, self learning and technology.”

“Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning, which is a vibrant research area in artificial intelligence, or AI.”
Oren Etzioni (born 1964) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“[[Learning|[L]earning]]... takes place against a background of... machinery that precedes learning; evidence for prewiring doesn’t speak against rewiring... nor does evidence for (later) rewiring speak against evidence for prewiring.”
Gary Marcus (born 1970) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“I am also working on some ideas for new learning architectures for deep-learning networks, inspired in part by the Cascade Correlation architecture that I developed in 1990 with Chris Lebiere.”

Andrew Yan-Tak Ng (born 1976) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source

Salvatore J. Stolfo wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“A GAN stands for Generative Adversarial Network and is a machine learning technique for generation of content. It works by using two systems, one which tries to make convincing output by learning from a dataset and another which judges if the output is real or not. The generator keeps adapting to try to fool the tester and eventually it makes output that is fairly convincing.”
Alexander Reben wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“There is a bit of a bubble in AI. I don’t think that it’s going to go to waste. I think that all this investment will be additive, but there’s an over-expectation of what machine learning can bring right now, because of a lack of appreciation of the fact that machine learning is only part of the journey. And the next part of the journey for most big companies is optimization and decision making.”
Daniel J. Hulme (born 1980) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“Our value proposition is centered on the teacher-student ratio, which is 1:10 or less, which has helped in improving service quality.

“There are so many things I love here. What stands out the most is being able to train every day alongside exceptional players. Every session is a learning moment.

Jennifer Echegini (born 2001) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source

Jacqueline B. Helfgott wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“I’d say I’m learning how to. At first, I didn’t know how to have my personality come over a beat, which was super hard when it wasn’t a beat of my own. I’m learning how to take a song into my own hands and execute it the way Saweetie would do it.”
“Of course, I’m still learning as a young footballer and learning a lot from Hotto, who has been at the club for a long time, but I do feel that with the quality of set pieces I can produce, I may stand out a bit.”
“We keep learning each and every day, and that is one thing that I have learned as a footballer and as a human being, to say we keep learning each and every day.”

“I'm now an 800 metre runner who can run a really good 400, I’m enjoying it [the 800] a lot more now. Before, I just ran as fast and as hard as I could, following different individuals on the track. Now I can get out there and run fast by myself. I'm learning how to position myself in different races. I'm learning the event and starting to enjoy it.”
Jearl Miles Clark (born 1966) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“The older we get the smarter we have to be, By no means am I old, but the same things I could do or have to do at 22 I don’t necessarily have to do. I think as we get older in sports, learning your body and learning the things your body responds well to or doesn’t respond well to is important.”
Natasha Hastings (born 1986) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“I’m learning from him as much as he’s learning from me. That’s the beauty of it – it’s a two-way street.”
Wihan Lubbe (born 1992) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“Educators everywhere must seek new ways to promote the idea that learning is something a student does with books and materials, and a teacher who cares; that learning can happen in college and outside; and that a student's intellectual growth depends far less on geography (which college) than on what advantage he takes of the opportunities which surround him wherever he is.”

“We should not go to the people and say, "Here we are. We come to give you the charity of our presence, to teach you our science, to show you your errors, your lack of culture, your ignorance of elementary things." We should go instead with an inquiring mind and a humble spirit to learn at that great source of wisdom that is the people.”

“But if we hide ourselves away, afraid to grow and learn, we might wake up in the flames of the ignorance that burns and we’ll never be much more than only casualties of war in a struggle we can’t win if we have no faith to begin. We’ve got to tip the lid and let some sunlight in.”
Dawud Wharnsby (born 1972) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“Wisdom is like a bright light, shining through people’s delusion and ignorance; it is also like a varja, eradicating delusional worries. Within the various Dharma services and activities, I believe we are able to learn much wisdom of the Dharma. It is wished that the legacy can be sustained into the future for the benefit of the next generation.”

“There isn't a right way to become educated; there are as many ways as fingerprints. We don't need state-certified teachers to make education happen – that probably guarantees it won't... We don't need a national curriculum or national testing either. Both initiatives arise from ignorance of how people learn or deliberate indifference to it.”
John Taylor Gatto (1935–2018) said by 2018 at the latest wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“How much more evidence is necessary? Good schools don’t need more money or a longer year; they need real free-market choices, variety that speaks to every need and runs risks. We don’t need a national curriculum, or national testing either. Both initiatives arise from ignorance of how people learn, or deliberate indifference to it.”
John Taylor Gatto (1935–2018) said by 2018 at the latest wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“It is not for us that we exhort you to learn, but for yourself, because ignorance is an inability, a real disaster, because social positions and protection are no longer there as before, there is a ground for malice and even hatred.”
Leopold I of Belgium (1790–1865) said by 1865 at the latest wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“We disliked the rigours of existence, the unfulfilled longings, the enshrined injustices of the world, the labyrinths of love, the ignorance of parents, the fact of dying, and the amazing indifference of the Living in the midst of the simple beauties of the universe. We feared the heartlessness of human beings, all of whom are born blind, few of whom ever learn to see.”
“To learn, you must be humble. You must be prepared to admit your ignorance. You must allow yourselves to be filled with the vital information presented to you via the skills and dedication of those who have gone before you down the long path to enlightenment.”
Paula Brackston wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source

“Give us, O God, the vision which can see Your love in the world in spite of human failure. Give us the faith to trust Your goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness. Give us the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts. And show us what each one of us can do to set forward the coming of the day of universal peace.”
