I think what we've done is given children a lot of things that they didn't ask for instead of what they do want.

Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide.

Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.

Mr. Meant-to has a friend, his name is Didn't-Do. Have you met them? They live together in a house called Never-Win. And I am told that it is haunted by the Ghost of Might-have-Been.

When someone is taught the joy of learning, it becomes a life-long process that never stops, a process that creates a logical individual. That is the challenge and joy of teaching.

Excellence is not an act but a habit. The things you do the most are the things you will do best.

Success doesn't come to you, you go to it.

Determination and perseverance move the world; thinking that others will do it for you is a sure way to fail.

Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.

I'm a teacher. A teacher is someone who leads. There is no magic here. I do not walk on water. I do not part the sea. I just love children.

If you don't give anything, don't expect anything. Success is not coming to you, you must come to it.

To the extent that in one's act of faith one participates in the truth through reason and heart, faith already implies a particular level of knowledge and of certainty.

Success is the relentless pursuit of joy.

You’re not in this alone anymore. I’m not going anywhere, and if you’ll let me, I’ve got broad shoulders for you to lean on whenever you need me.

Nearly every lawsuit is an insult to the intelligence of both plaintiff and defendant.

I seek as much as I can to mitigate risk.

Fool witch once, shame on you. Fool witch twice, oozing sores and an eternal rash in private areas.

As I get older, the tyranny that football exerts over my life, and therefore over the lives of the people around me, is less reasonable and less attractive.

God is most glorified in us when our knowledge and experience of Him ignite a forest fire of joy that consumes all competing pleasures and He alone becomes the treasure that we prize.

A dimwit thinks nothing is funny unless it's mean.

Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems
