When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
The little one gather around me,
To bid me good-night and be kissed;
On, the little white arms that encircle
My neck in their tender embrace
Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face.

It is our moral obligation to give every child the very best education possible.

Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.

Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.

Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet 'em on your way down.

Never letting the competition define you. Instead, you have to define yourself based on a point of view you care deeply about.

What is called a sincere work is one that is endowed with enough strength to give reality to an illusion.

Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.

Talk low, talk slow and don't say too much.

A laugh costs too much when bought at the expense of virtue.
