My kids started school today and it made me reflect on some quotes that helped me through high school.
"Powerful is not he who knocks the other down. Indeed powerful is he who controls himself in a fit of anger." --Muhammed
"I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do the something I can do." --Helen Keller
"A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge." --Thomas Carlyle
"True education does not consist of merely in the acquiring of a few facts of science, history, literature, or art, but in the development of character." --David O. McKay
"Seek not to be well known; seek, instead, to be worth knowing." --Anonymous
And this is one of my favorite poems:
Outwitted
"He drew a circle that shut me out--
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!"
--Edwin Markham
