"Every man should have a college education in order to show him how little the thing is really worth."	Elbert Hubbard
"Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog."	Mark Twain

John Calvin

"God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could not learn in any other way. The way we learn those lessons is not to deny the feelings but to find the meanings underlying them."	Stanley Lindquist
"Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater."	Gail

I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and no way of knowing how near the harbor was. 'Light! Give me light!' was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour."	Helen Adams Keller
"He is as unaffected as Albert Einstein."	Orson Welles
"He who opens a school door, closes a prison."	Victor Hugo
