Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, yes when we should say no.

If we had in this room a hundred teachers, good teachers from good schools, and asked them to define the word education, there would be very little general agreement.

To focus on discipline is to ignore the real problem: We will never be able to get students (or anyone else) to be in good order if, day after day, we try to force them to do what they do not find satisfying.

Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world.

When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.

We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.

The ultimate use of power is to empower others.
