I may not have ended up where I intended to go, but I have ended up where I needed to be. - Douglas Adams

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.. for though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire...” ~ Thomas Paine

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~Maya Angelou

It is almost a miracle that modern teaching methods have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiousity of inquiry; for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom. -Albert Einstein
