It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future. Yogi Berra
My wife says I don't listen - at least, I think that's what she said.
I'm right - he's wrong -
end of story - my wife
I know you think you
understand what you thought I said but do you realize that what you thought
you heard is not what I meant to say.
Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
The harder I work, the luckier I get
I hear and I forget.
I see and I remember.
I do and I understand.
Confucius
It is more important to do
the right thing than to do the thing right.
Peter F. Drucker
You can put state of the
art technology on the desk of every student but without the vision of an inspired
educator, nothing of value will happen.
David Thornburg
We must prepare students for their future, not our past.
In times of change, learners
inherit the earth while the learned find themselves beuatifully equipped to
deal with a world that no longer exists.
Eric Hoffer
Middle age is when a broad mind and narrow hips change places.
You're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake Bob Hope
One advantage of getting old is we can have a party and the neighbours don't even know about it.
He who knows not and knows
that he knows not, is humble, teach him
He who knows not and thinks he knows is a fool, shun him
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep, wake him
He who knows an knows that he knows is wise, follow him.
'We should give our children two only two things - roots and wings'
Work like you don't need
the money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.
PRINCE.
I know you all, and will awhile uphold
The unyok'd humour of your idleness:
Yet herein will I imitate the Sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother-up his beauty from the world,
That, when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wonder'd at,
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
If all the year were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to work;
But, when they seldom come, they wish'd-for come,
And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
So, when this loose behaviour I throw off,
And pay the debt I never promised,
By how much better than my word I am,
By so much shall I falsify men's hopes;
And, like bright metal on a sullen ground,
My reformation, glittering o'er my fault,
Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
I'll so offend, to make offence a skill;
Redeeming time, when men think least I will.
