People soon get tired of things that aren't boring, but not of what is boring.

Haruki Murakami

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings -- that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.

Buddha

Discipline and united action are the real source of strength for the nation.

You must save yourselves, Rogol Domedonfors told them. You have ignored the ancient wisdom, you have been too indolent to learn, you have sought easy complacence from religion, rather than facing manfully to the world.

Jack Vance

The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.

Sir Winston Churchill

Leo Tolstoy

Carl Sagan, Blues for a Red Plan

If life deals you lemons made lemonade

Proverb

If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained. Keep adding, keep walking, keep advancing.

Education is the silver bullet to improve this Nation's standing worldwide... and our teachers know that.
