If we are to survive, we must have ideas, vision, and courage. These things are rarely produced by committees. Everything that matters in our intellectual and moral life begins with an individual confronting his own mind and conscience in a room by himself.

Hi, i'm bunny the life guard and if their's any life-saving to do i'm the man to do it

Chris Pontius

Where would his torture be, indeed, if at every step the hope of succeeding upheld him?

Albert Camus

As the true object of education is not to render the pupil the mere copy of his preceptor, it is rather to be rejoiced in, than lamented, that various reading should lead him into new trains of thinking.

William Godwin

Death's in the good-bye.

Anne Sexton

Among the many reasons assignable for the sad decay of true Christianity, perhaps the neglecting to assemble ourselves together, in religious societies, may not be one of the least.

George Whitefield

No cross no crown.

Francis Quarles

What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.

George Bernard Shaw

That man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest.

Henry David Thoreau

Interest does not tie nations together it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding does unite them.

Woodrow Wilson

No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.

Barbara Ehrenreich

If we can, when we have established individual discipline, arrange the children, sending each one to his own place, in order, trying to make them understand the idea that thus placed they look well, and that it is a good thing to be thus placed in order, that it is a good and pleasing arrangement in the room, this ordered and tranquil adjustment of theirs -- then their remaining in their places, quiet and silent, is the result of a species of lesson, not an imposition. To make them understand the idea, without calling their attention too forcibly to the practice, to have them assimilate a principle of collective order -- that is the important thing.

Maria Montessori

Your friend is that man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Elbert Hubbard
