Never Stop Learning

by Andy Rooney

I've learned... that the best classroom in the world is
at the feet of an elderly person.

I've learned... that when you're in love, it shows.

I've learned... that just one person saying to me,
"You've made my day!" makes my day

I've learned... that I feel better about myself when I
make others feel better about themselves.

I've learned... that having a child fall asleep in your
arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.

I've learned... that what we have done for ourselves
alone dies with us. What we have done for others and the
world remains and is immortal.

I've learned... that one sincere apology is worth more
than all the roses money can buy.

I've learned... that being kind is more important than
being right.

I've learned... that you should never say no to a gift
from a child.

I've learned... that I can always pray for someone when
I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.

I've learned... that no matter how serious your life
requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy
with.

I've learned... that sometimes all a person needs is a
hand to hold and a heart to understand.

I've learned... that simple walks with my father around
the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders
for me as an adult.

I've learned... that life is like a roll of toilet
paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

I've learned... that we should be glad God doesn't give
us everything we ask for.

I've learned... that money doesn't buy class.

I've learned... that it's those small daily happenings
that make life so spectacular.

I've learned... that once a relationship is over, if you
experienced more smiles than tears, then it wasn't a
waste of time.

I've learned... that under everyone's hard shell is
someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I've learned... never to humiliate another person.
Always give him an honorable way to back down or out of
something and still save face.

I've learned... that the Lord didn't do it all in one
day. What makes me think I can?

I've learned... that if you are still talking about what
you did yesterday, you haven't done much today.

I've learned... that when you plan to get even with
someone, you are only letting that person continue to
hurt you.

I've learned... that the older I get, the smarter my
parents become.

I've learned... that love, not time, heals all wounds.
