Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
As the daughter of a schoolteacher, I feel very strongly that the most important thing in school takes place right there in that classroom, and the interaction between the teacher and the child.
