„.. learn to draw: that’s where most of you [Troyon’s pupils] are falling down today…. draw with all your might; you can never learn to much. However, don’t neglect painting, go to the country from time to time and make studies and above all develop them..’ [Monet is quoting in his letter Troyon, a friend of Boudin in Paris]“

— Claude Monet

„Your description of Troyon and Rousseau, for instance, is lively enough to give me some idea of which of their manners they are done in. There were other paintings from the time of Troyon's municipal pasture that had a certain 'mood' that one would have to call 'dramatic', even though they aren't figure paintings.“
— Vincent Van Gogh
„Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.“
— Groucho Marx
„Collect all the facts that can be collected about the life of Racine and you will never learn from them the art of his verse.“

„In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.“
— Robert T. Kiyosaki
„Teachers also say that teaching for learning how-to-learn-learn will consume a lot of time. It will be difficult to cover all the content specified by the curriculum if learning uses up too much time on hands-on activities. The less-is-more alternative has not been considered as a possible solution at all in educational reforms where only expanding will bring about progress and development is more. Now is an appropriate time for educators to come down to the heart of educational matters or the learning methods to achieve the less-is-more alternative in all educational reforms.“
