We can teach a lot of things, but if the teacher can't relate by talking to a group of friendly students, he'll never be a competent teacher.

What happened in the past that was painful has a great deal to do with what we are today, but revisiting this painful past can contribute little or nothing to what we need to do now.

We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.

The ultimate use of power is to empower others.

Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.

It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice.

This is at the heart of all good education, where the teacher asks students to think and engages them in encouraging dialogues, constantly checking for understanding and growth.

Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.

Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, yes when we should say no.

We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.

When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.

If you take each step, as if it was your last. You would appreciate the world in all its glory and bask in the glory of god for in his wisdom he created us and the universe all around us.

The poetry of the earth is never dead.

Move on, don’t let the little things of Life hold you back. Forget, Forgive, and Move on.- RVM

...as for helping me in the outside world, the Convent taught me only that if you spit on a pencil eraser, it will erase ink.

Truth exists; only lies are invented.

Any change is resisted because bureaucrats have a vested interest in the chaos in which they exist.

We could ask artists from abroad to come in too, so that there could be a mixing and matching of skills from Europe, America and here which would widen our world.
