when it appears to do good,
the good is only temporary;
the evil it does is permanent.

you can only help him find it within himself.

no man can take it away from him.
An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

a possession for all time.

Nothing is more important in our national life
than the welfare of our children.

Education is not the filling of a pail,
but the lighting of a fire.
- William Butler Yeats

What usually happens in the educational process is
that the faculties are dulled, overloaded, stuffed

they have lost their innate capabilities.

I must dedicate my life to teaching my people,

Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those

a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom
they entrust the care of their plumbing.

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers,

the courage to recognize the faiths of their brethren

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
- Calvin Coolidge

There comes a time in every man's education
when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance,
that imitation is suicide,
that he must take himself for better or for worse as his portion.

To accuse others for one's own misfortunes
is a sign of want of education.
To accuse oneself shows that one's education has begun.
To accuse neither oneself nor others
shows that one's education is complete.

The most important outcome of education
is to help students become independent of formal education.
- Paul E. Gray

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude to me is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than money,
than circumstances, than failures, than success,
than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill.
It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day
regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past ...
we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the string we have,
and that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me
and 90 percent how I react to it.
And so it is with you ...
we are in charge of our attitudes.
- Charles Swindoll

Education is a method whereby
one acquires a higher grade of prejudices.
- Laurence J. Peter

Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past
have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
- George S. Patton

We are now at a point where we must educate our children
in what no one knew yesterday,
and prepare our schools for what no one knows yet.
- Margaret Mead

The Paradox Of Living In The Moment is -
How To Be Happy Today AND Prepare For Tomorrow

prepare the child for the path.

fully awake, eager for the next experience.

To the young child, all life is a great adventure -
when did we grow so dull and brittle.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

How far you go in life depends on you being
tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving
and tolerant of the weak and the strong.
Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
- George Washington Carver

Is the babe young? When I behold it,
it seems more venerable than the oldest man.
- Henry David Thoreau

A friendship will be young after the lapse of half a century;
a passion is old at the end of three months.
- Madame Swetchine

If I were to wish for anything,
I should not wish for wealth and power,
but for the passionate sense of potential -
for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible.
Pleasure disappoints; possibility never.
- Soren Kierkegaard

It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person,
"Always do what you are afraid to do."

The whole art of teaching is only the art
of awakening the natural curiosity
of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.

To a very young child, mommy and daddy are gods.

that sense of being cared for and protected.
Thus religion.

Consciously adopt the mindset of a young child,
to whom all of life is a grand adventure.
Life is your playground.
Fashion grand castles and sweeping boulevards,
defeat fire-breathing dragons,
leap tall buildings in a single bound.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I honor you, Hero, for you do not play to the crowd.
You play to your own soul.
An audience of one fills the house with its appreciation and applause.
Others follow you, and may attempt to emulate you,
but that is not why you are a hero.
Fame may smile upon you, or it may not.
The world may cheer your name, or you may be the unknown warrior
who rescued comrades in battle,
or taught a young girl how to shed tears of joy.
Whatever you did, you did not do for fame.
If you had, you would not be a Hero.
You are a Hero for your bold courageous inspired action.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

One of the greatest cause of unhappiness -
perhaps even the only cause of unhappiness - is comparison.
I remember as a young child hearing my mother say,
"Comparisons are odious."
That is one of the oldest sayings in the English language,
and one of the most important.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

One of the greatest titles we can have is "old friend."
We never appreciate how important old friends are until we are older.
The problem is we need to start our old friendships when we are young.
We then have to nurture and grow those friendships over our middle age
when a busy life and changing geographies
can cause us to neglect those friends.
Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.
- Grant Fairley

Mind can never be intelligent - only no-mind is intelligent.
Only no-mind is original and radical.
Only no-mind is revolutionary - revolution in action.
The mind gives you a sort of stupor.
Burdened by the memories of the past,
burdened by the projections of the future,
you go on living - at the minimum.
You dont live at the maximum.
Your flame remains very dim.
Once you start dropping thoughts,
the dust that you have collected in the past,
the flame arises - clean, clear, alive, young.
Your whole life becomes a flame,
and a flame without any smoke.
That is what awareness is.
- Osho

Thanks to television, for the first time
the young are seeing history made
before it is censored by their elders.
- Margaret Mead

To be seventy years young is sometimes
far more cheerful and hopeful
than to be forty years old.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along."
- Elizabeth Warren

Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly.
- Gilbert (G. K.) Chesterton

and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely
as if they had never happened before.

has both the responsibility and the privilege
of viewing themselves as Divine beings
with the power to bring about peace.

contain within themselves the seeds of their own corruption.

but all heroes lead themselves.

It is only in adventure that some people
succeed in knowing themselves -
in finding themselves.
- Andre Gide

Men occasionally stumble over the truth,
but most of them pick themselves up
and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

Conventional people are roused to fury
by departure from convention,
largely because they regard such departure
as a criticism of themselves.
