    You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens.
    How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant with the weak and wrong…because sometime in your life you will have been all of these. George Washington Carver

    There is always another school of thought
    We never stop learning…unless we choose to.
    The most important thing in every nation is their children’s education.
    My mother taught me everything I ever needed to know, but I got to practice it at school.
    Most lessons are learned through trial and error. The school should be a safe environment, where students can discover what is true and valuable, without the pain that comes from tragic mistakes.
