William Arthur Ward
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”
William Arthur Ward

Thich Nhat Hanh
“When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you
don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not
doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or
less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have
problems with our friends or family, we blame the other
person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will
grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive
effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason
and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no
reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you
understand, and you show that you understand, you can
love, and the situation will change”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Oscar Wilde
“Consistency is the hallmark of the unimaginative.”
Oscar Wilde

Nelson Mandela
“Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”
Nelson Mandela

George Bernard Shaw
“Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.”
George Bernard Shaw
