Latest greatest Famous Quotations
Author Unknown
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them
Gustave Flaubert, "Madame Bovary", ch. 12
...exaggerated turns of speech conceal mediocre affections: as if the fulness of the soul might not sometimes overflow in the emptiest of metaphors, since no one, ever, can give the exact measurements of his needs, nor of his conceptions, nor of his sufferings, and the human word is like a cracked cauldron upon which we beat out melodies fit for making bears dance when we are trying to move the stars to pity.
Old School
Frank Blue you're my boy
Richard Milhous Nixon
The presidency has many problems, but boredom is the least of them.
John Keats
Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul
William C. Bagley
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
Thomas Carlyle
Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity speech is shallow as Time.
Philip Crosby, Reflections on Quality
Just being honest is not enough. The essential ingredient is executive integrity.
Eric Hoffer
To grow old is to grow common. Old age equalizes - we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.
