“When we are training in the art of peace, we are not given any promises that, because of our noble intentions, everything will be okay. In fact, there are no promises of fruition at all.

We learn that what truly heals is gratitude and tenderness.”  -Pema Chodron

Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel. -Socrates

“Life is a journey, not a destination.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” –Benjamin Franklin

“Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.”  -Kofi Annan
