I'm looking to start a new course in Storyline for a company that is instituting development planning for all employees (to include both formal/informal learning and project participation)
I'm playing around with starting it off with a very short montage (20-30 seconds at most) of some powerful quotes or statistics or predictions on learning or developing oneself and what it means to an organization.
It is better to know how to learn than to know. ~Dr. Seuss
Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power. ~Clint Eastwood
I came across this a few years ago and have it set up on my Sticky Notes to display once a week, to remind me of a few things when I facilitate adult learning. Currently I do face-to-face with adults needing to use computers to get back into the work force and with ESOL learners. I feel like this is SO important to remember when working with adults in any context.
The richest resource for learning resides in adults themselves; therefore, tapping into their experiences through experiential techniques (discussions, simulations, problem-solving activities, or case methods) is beneficial (Brookfield, 1986; Knowles et al., 2005; McKeachie, 2002; Silberman & Auerbach, 1998).
and this is the link where I came across this...other goodies here as well
Even though I've not used any of the quotes contributed here yet, I plan to end the course with one or two and I see quite a few likely candidates here.
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
William Horton in his E-learning by Design: E-learning can be as good as the best classroom teaching, and as bad as the worst.
Clark and Meyer's E-leaning and the Science of Instruction (btw, that's a really good place to go for verifiable stats on e-learning): Research suggests that instructor-led training is no better or worse for teaching people than e-learning is.

Thanks everyone for the quotes (and the link).
I've posted in this thread what I've done so far.
Even though I've not used any of the quotes contributed here yet, I plan to end the course with one or two and I see quite a few likely candidates here.
Again, thanks for the support.
I saw this one recently, though naturally it's tongue-in-cheek, I liked its relevance to learning:

Hi
Some of my favorites from coach Vince Lombardi:
Two related paraphrases that stay with me:

Excellent quotes. THANKS, all!
