An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.

Remember that nobody will ever get ahead of you as long as he is kicking you in the seat of the pants.

Walter Winchell

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality of happiness, and by no means a necessity of life.

George Bernard Shaw

Be true to your own act and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant to break the monotony of a decorous age.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.

Leo Buscaglia

The city sleeps and the country sleeps, the living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time, the old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife; and these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them, and such as it is to be of these more or less I am, and of these one and all I weave the song of myself.

Walt Whitman

Wonder is from surprise, and surprise stops with experience.

Bishop Robert South

So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

Bible

Men would live exceedingly quiet if these two words, mine and thine, were taken away.

Anaxagoras

Never despair, keep pushing on!

Sir Thomas Lipton

Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.

Oscar Wilde

Montana and I had a chemistry that was unbelievable. When I first came into the league he told me I added five years to his career, and I just think we complimented each other very well and were able to do some amazing things out on the football field.

Jerry Rice

People say, what is she thinking? I'm thinking: fun cash travel.
