"Learning gives us a fuller conviction of the imperfections of our nature; which one would think, might dispose us to modesty"
- Jeremy Collier
About this Quote
This quote by Jeremy Collier speaks with the concept that knowing can be a humbling experience. Through learning, we gain a much better understanding of our own restrictions and flaws. This knowledge can lead to a higher sense of humility and modesty. It can assist us to recognize our own weak points and to be more accepting of the weak points of others. Learning can also assist us to appreciate the strengths of others and to be more available to different point of views. Eventually, discovering can help us to end up being more familiar with our own restrictions and to be more accepting of the flaws of our nature.
"At the heart of the Reggio Emilia approach is the belief that children are full of potential, competent, and capable of constructing their own learning"
"Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning how to learn"
"Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance"
