I am an Instructor for the Marine Corps and used this quote one day and have used it ever since.
"Don't just learn something from every experience; learn something positive."
Al Neuharth
"Learn avidly. Question repeatedly what you have learned. Analyze it carefully. Then put what you have learned into practice intelligently."
Confucius
"A fool denies the chance to ask even the most foolish questions."
Written in 2004 by Karina M., Age 17 --- Georgia
"What we do not understand we do not possess."
Goethe
"The wisest mind has something yet to learn."
George Santayana
"He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet."
Joseph Joubert
"Whether one has natural talent or not, any learning period requires the willingness to suffer uncertainty and embarrassment."
Gail Sheehy
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so let us all be thankful."
Buddha
"Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish."
Marcus Aurelius
"Expecting something for nothing is the most popular form of hope."
Arnold Glasow
"Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure."
William Saroyan
"If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others."
Tryon Edwards
"I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it."
Henry Emerson Fosdick
"Don't be discouraged by failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error, which we shall afterwards carefully avoid."
John Keats
"With a good teacher, students will learn, and they will love and respect their teacher. With a great teacher, they will learn to love and respect themselves."

I teach elementary children with special needs, and I know many teachers who are Great.
"Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them."
Lady Bird Johnson
"The brighter you are, the more you have to learn."
Don Herold
"Instruction begins when you, the teacher, learn from the learner; put yourself in his place so that you may understand . . . what he learns and the way he understands it."
Soren Kierkegaard
"The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness."
Kahlil Gibran
"Learning is not compulsory but neither is survival."
W. Edwards Deming
ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST!
When you think it doesn't matter if you fail or pass the test.
Keep in mind this simple reason you should always be your best.
While the whole world may not notice if you try to give your all,
There is a special person to whom it matters if you fall.
A little voice within you - which directs your thoughts each day -
Will make the final judgment if you won or lost today.
Never can you fail yourself if you give it all you've got.
The world extends a hand to you when you give life your best shot.
For all that really matters when you're finished with the test
Is not the final score at all - but did you do your best.

"The barriers are not erected which can say to aspiring talents and industry, 'Thus far and no farther.'"
Ludwig Van Beethoven
"Others can stop you temporarily --- you are the only one who can do it permanently."
Zig Ziglar
"The world's future rests with Technical Education Instructors educating the future craftspeople andprofessionals of tomorrow."

"The purpose of education is not to produce more scholars, technicians and job hunters, but integrated men and women who are free of fear; for only between such human beings can there be enduring peace."
Krishnamurti
"The essence of knowledge is, having it, to apply it; not having it, to confess your ignorance."
Confucius
"Believe the unbelievable."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Kelly Cannon --- Virginia
Life's full of magic and mystery. Embrace it, always.
"Nothing you do for children is ever wasted."
Garrison Keillor
"Only through education does one come to be dissatisfied with his own knowledge, and only through teaching others does one come to realize the uncomfortable inadequacy of his knowledge. Being dissatisfied with his own knowledge, one then realizes that the trouble lies with himself, and realizing the uncomfortable inadequacy of his knowledge one then feels stimulated to improve himself. Therefore, it is said, 'the processes of teaching and learning stimulate one another.'"
Confucius
