Running a school where the students all succeed, even if some students have to help others to make the grade, is good preparation for democracy.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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.

Don't marry someone you would not be friends with if there was no sex between you.

If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. In other words, begin to act the part, as well as you can, of the person you would rather be, the person you most want to become. Gradually, the old, fearful person will fade away.

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

The faster you go, the more students you leave behind. It doesn't matter how much or how fast you teach. The true measure is how much students have learned.
