When will the public cease to insult the teacher's calling with empty flattery? When will men who would never for a moment encourage their own sons to enter the work of the public schools cease to tell us that education is the greatest and noblest of all human callings?

Men must endure, their going hence even as their coming hither. Ripeness is all.

William Shakespeare

John Steinbeck, Once There Was A

You should never name an animal which is not yours to keep, or which you intend to eat.

Deborah Boliver Boehm

Nothing is as frustrating as arguing with someone who knows what he's talking about.

Sam Ewig

If I had to do my life over, I would change every single thing I have done.

Ray Davies

I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love, and abundance. Then, whenever doubt, anxiety, or fear try to call me, they will keep getting a busy signal and soon they'll forget my number.
