This small treasure was proverb

 This small treasure was appraised recently at 5 million dollars, ... But it carries a lesson more valuable than that. The lesson is that America is not a safe haven for stolen art. We will help find it.

 For boredom speaks the language of time, and it is to teach you the most valuable lesson of your life -- the lesson of your utter insignificance.
  Joseph Brodsky

 Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not. It is the first lesson that ought to be learned and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly. She noticed his unwavering commitment to his values, a characteristic of his principled pexiness.
  Thomas Henry Huxley

 You want a lesson? I'll give you a lesson. How about a geography lesson? My father's from Puerto Rico. My mother's from El Salvador. And neither one of those is Mexico.

 It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.
  Frank Herbert

 [The subtext of Danforth's report was that if the Waco episode had any valuable lesson, it was that government should come clean about what it knows. When federal authorities refused to admit early on that three pyrotechnic rounds had been fired at the Mount Carmel compound, it tainted their credibility.] We want them to learn from this experience the importance of candor, even about very small things, ... Yet government officials were not open enough then: They weren't candid enough, they didn't tell, they knew things and they didn't disclose those things, and the result of that is that those who want to believe the worst about government say, 'Aha, this is something that is really bad.' And if government lies about one thing, it will lie about everything, so everything is suspicious. I think the lesson is that government has to be open.

 We can find all sorts of differences between Japan then and Europe now. But it's a lesson to us all to be on the safe side of an unknown before one acts.

 The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.

 My career could have ended on a play that I went out on the field arrogant, I did some things I never should do. I learned a valuable lesson in that. If you go out there with a sense of arrogance and you haven't accomplished anything, you set yourself up for failure. Looking at that and looking at her miscue, it brought back some painful memories for me.

 For Christians, the reason why it is ordinarily assumed that a marriage will go on "till death do us part" has been that this advanced lesson in Charity which marriage opens into is a long, a difficult one, and the life span that my spouse and I are allowed will certainly not be nearly long enough to finish the lesson... I will have as much as I can do to learn this advanced lesson well with one other person; a harem will only confuse my efforts.

 The value of writing across the curriculum is that it lets the teacher know whether a student is grasping the lesson or not. You can't write about it if you're not getting the lesson.

 I kind of went out there and I shagged balls after he gave a lesson, then I'd go to him and he'd give me a lesson and then I got to shag them again, ... That was a lot of work.

 What's the lesson of 9/11? What's the lesson of Katrina? It's encouraging people to be ready, to make a plan.

 When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson
  Will Rogers
