Guest Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 'To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end in life.' Robert Louis Stevenson Come to the edge - We might fall. Come to the edge - It's too high. Come to the edge - And they came, And he pushed, And they flew.' Christopher Logue 'It's not good enough to sit with a class, on the carpet, explaining the wonders of the universe. Direct exploration, using all the senses, is the key to infant learning.' Max de Boo ' I hear, and I forget. I see, and I remember. I do, and I understand.' Chinese Proverb 'The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.' Robert Maynard Hutchins 'Adults are obsolete children.' Dr Seuss 'Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.' Mahatma Gandhi 'A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.' Kathy Davis 'No one has yet fully realized the wealth of sympathy, kindness, and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.' Emma Golmam 'Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of the fire.' William Butler Yeats And just for fun: 'Never try to teach a pig to sing - it wastes your time and annoys the pig.'

Guest Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I wouldn't actually call this a learning quote but I think it is lovely "Children are like tiny flowers; they are varied and need care, but each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in the community of peers." (Friedrich Froebel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alis2son Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Two natures beat within my breast. The one is cursed, the other is blessed. The one I love, the other I hate. The one I feed will dominate. - unknown A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The opposite of success is not failure, it's quitting.

Guest Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 One I always remind myself (and others) of when planning anything new: "If they can't learn the way you teach... ... can you teach the way they learn?" Umm... I also like: "If at first you don't succeed, remove all evidence that you ever tried" - ha think that was Ricky Gervais that said that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
