I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.

When you stop learning, stop listening, stop looking and asking questions, always new questions, then it is time to die.

What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable, than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and surest support?

I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic.

You aren't learning anything when you're talking.
