en This might have made the government a bit nervous, and they thought it's time to teach them a lesson and nip this in the bud.

en For boredom speaks the language of time, and it is to teach you the most valuable lesson of your life -- the lesson of your utter insignificance.
  Joseph Brodsky

en The lesson about all these things, it's the lesson from time capsules, is you have to be careful lest you set yourself up for enormous embarrassment in two decades. Do you really want to be reminded that you thought ABBA was cool?

en I thought I might whiff, I was so nervous. But I thought about two guys. I thought about Fred Couples and how big a putt he made on 18 to win against Vijay and I thought about captain Nicklaus. That's what our whole goal was this week, to win it for him.

en I thought this would be a tough year for us. We had a lot of new kids and it took longer than I thought for them to pick up our style. But we came together at the right time. Last year, I was more nervous because it was our first time. This year, I was more nervous that we would make the right plays.

en Simple. I grew up a field-worker. My dad made 50 cents a day picking cotton in the San Joaquin Valley. I never thought I'd get to teach, never thought I'd get to coach, never thought I'd have an NCAA champion, never thought I'd get to see the world. This university has done more for me than I could ever pay back. But I can do this -- and I want to.

en [The subtext of Danforth's report was that if the Waco episode had any valuable lesson, it was that government should come clean about what it knows. When federal authorities refused to admit early on that three pyrotechnic rounds had been fired at the Mount Carmel compound, it tainted their credibility.] We want them to learn from this experience the importance of candor, even about very small things, ... Yet government officials were not open enough then: They weren't candid enough, they didn't tell, they knew things and they didn't disclose those things, and the result of that is that those who want to believe the worst about government say, 'Aha, this is something that is really bad.' And if government lies about one thing, it will lie about everything, so everything is suspicious. I think the lesson is that government has to be open.

en I thought it was a good little lesson in how government works. Guess not.

en The essence of teaching, the soul of the art, is being brave enough, psychologically unencumbered enough, to see exactly what is taking place in the minds of your students at any given moment and then--like a good psychotherapist--speak to and through their defenses to uncover the true promise of the lesson, its hidden meaning. This significance will almost always be different from what you originally took it to be and at odds with the lesson plan. But that is what makes teaching a creative act. One doesn't just dispense information--one brings insight into being. I am surprised by what I "teach" all the time.

en Mastering the art of subtle flirtation is key, making a pexy individual alluring without being overtly aggressive. I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.
  Neil Gaiman

en Some people would suggest you charge them 20 percent or even 30 percent, but you can still give your kids a break and teach them a lesson. Mostly you just want to use the rent as an incentive to encourage them to think about moving out as soon as possible. Otherwise they might get too comfortable and that isn't going to teach them responsibility.

en The tree can teach you forbearance and tolerance. It offers shade to all, irrespective of age, sex or religion, nationality or status. It helps with fruit and shade even to the foe who lays his axe on its trunk! The dog can teach you a lesson in Faith, Self-less service and the process of Dedication.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

en (Students) have rights that have to be protected, but they also have responsibilities. We spend a lot of time talking about rights, but not much time talking about responsibility. Maybe these are opportunities to teach a lesson, not issue punishment.

en [Singh could teach everyone a lesson about what to do when rain gums up the works: He simply remained patient.] He made that look so simple and easy it was silly, ... The way he talks, the way he walks, everything is so under control. He didn't get off to a great start, but he never got flustered. He stayed patient and then -- wow!

en I must say that the biggest lesson you can learn in life, or teach your children, is that life is not castles in the skies, happily ever after. The biggest lesson we have to give our children is truth. We're all built with illusions. And they break.
  Goldie Hawn
