"The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining." - John F. Kennedy
"Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?" - Frank Scully Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him, and then choose that way with all his strength. I'm telling you, things are getting out of hand. Or maybe I'm discovering that things were never in my hands. "If you don't run your own life, somebody else will." - John Atkinson "It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated." - Alec Bourne There is no such thing as a self-made man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one work of encouragement to us, has entered into the makeup of our character and our thoughts, as well as our success. - George Matthew Adams Loving someone means helping them to be more themselves, which can be different from being what you’d like them to be, although often they turn out the same. Merle Shain (1935-1989), Writer Everyone should learn to do one thing supremely well because he likes it, and one thing supremely well because he detests it. B. W. M. Young, Educator Love is not blind--it sees more, not less. But because it sees more, it is willing to see less. Julius Gordon, Rabbi |

Education is learning what you didn’t even know you didn’t know. Daniel Joseph Boorstin (1914-2004), Historian and writer On anniversaries the wise husband always forgets the past...but never the present. "Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you." - William James, Psychologist "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." - William Butler Yeats We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors.... but they all have to learn to live in the same box. He that never changes his opinions, never corrects his mistakes, and will never be wiser on the morrow than he is today. - Tryon Edwards (1809-1894) Editor and Theologian The road to success is a toll road. Pay that small, daily fee, and you’ll be able to go most anywhere you want. Leave some time for fun, and you’ll enjoy the ride. - Steve Goodier Writer "The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress." - Joseph Joubert You must learn to drink the cup of life as it comes…without stirring it up from the bottom. That’s where the bitter dregs are. Agnes Sligh Turnbull (1888-1982) Writer |
