Quotes
We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child’s spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendour during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.
Maria Montessori
The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals.
Sir William Osler
You have not converted a man because you have silenced him. John Viscount Morley
As we grow old…the beauty steals inward. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny.
Carl Schurz
I guess we’d be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well.
Jennifer Aniston
The key to realising a dream is to focus not on success but significance — and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.
Oprah Winfrey
You don’t pay back your parents. You can’t. The debt you owe them gets collected by your children, who hand it down in turn. It’s a sort of entailment. Or if you don’t have children of the body, it’s left as a debt to your common humanity. Or to your God, if you possess or are possessed by one.
Lois McMaster Bujold
