There is a brilliant child locked inside every student.

Determination and perseverance move the world; thinking that others will do it for you is a sure way to fail.

I cannot change the world, but I do not have to conform.

Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.

An error means a child needs help, not a reprimand or ridicule for doing something wrong.

I think what we've done is given children a lot of things that they didn't ask for instead of what they do want.

Excellence is not an act, but a habit.
