“When you talk, you repeat what you already know; when you listen, you often learn something.”

“When you know something, you know it, and when you don't, you'd better learn. And in the meantime, you should keep quiet, or at least speak only when what you say will advance the learning process.”

“When you listen, it's amazing what you can learn. When you act on what you've learned, it's amazing what you can change.”

“Listen to the women when she looks at you, not when she talks to you.”

“When you take the time to actually listen, with humility, to what people have to say, it's amazing what you can learn. Especially if the people who are doing the talking also happen to be children.”
