Taylor SwiftLove is a really scary thing, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.

Stephen KingSo comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their ending!
J. R. R. TolkienWe do not know where to look, or what to look for, when something is memorized. We do not know what it means, or what change there is in the nervous system, when a fact is learned. This is a very important problem which has not been solved at all.

HeraclitusI grew up where, when a door closed, a window didn’t open. The only thing I had was cracks. I’d do everything to get through those cracks – scratch, claw, bite, push, bleed. Now the opportunity is here. The door is wide open, and it’s as big as a garage.
Dwayne JohnsonCharacter is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.

Hermann HesseYou can tell the tree by the fruit it bears. You see it through what the organization is delivering as far as a concrete program. If the tree’s fruit sours or grows brackish, then the time has come to chop it down – bury it and walk over it and plant new seeds.
Huey NewtonBefore I became a chief minister, I never thought that one day I’d be the chief minister.
Narendra ModiIf you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic – being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.
Elon MuskA failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in the experience.

Jimmy BuffettIf a man’s wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics.
Francis BaconSee, people are watching you. Especially your children. They’re taking in every single thing you do. They are like video cameras with legs. And they are always in the record mode. They learn more from what you do than from what you say.
Joel OsteenTravel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.
