Thanks Kerry! There was me thinking that Einstein was reliably earnest! Ha ha. 'Asking' is a very good word to get in there, since we're featuring John's critical thinking model and emphasising questioning. Hmmm...

Hi Eloise
I just pulled these off of a website http://thinkexist.com/quotes/with/keyword/learn/
There's loads on there but i liked these (particularly the last one hee hee!)

B. B. King
He who is afraid of asking is ashamed of learning." - Danish proverb
Who dares to teach must never cease to learn." - John Cotton Dana
"You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else." - Albert Einstein

Subject: Summing up LD work
Hi all,
We were thinking of making explicit something of our theoretical underpinnings in our latest publicity so I'm looking for a couple of inspirational quotes by great names and/or great Learning Developers (etc.) that capture the essence of our work. I'm about to look at the LDHEN blog because last year's thread where we describe what we do might throw up the right sort of thing, as well as some of the keynote speakers we've had. I like Ghandi's 'Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever', and of course Einstein's 'standing on the shoulders of giants' is great in terms of criticality, referencing etc., but something less known, more specific and less cinematic might be better. Any ideas, especially actual or paraphrased quotes and names, would be very welcome!
Thanks!
Eloïse
