General Quotes

“I cannot live without books: but fewer will suffice where amusement, and not use, is the only future object.” 
Thomas Jefferson

“I defy you to find a statue or a monument ever erected to anyone because they were realistic. All dreamers, all achievers, all great people kept their child-like faith in their own dream and their ability to carry it out, and these great people had an inordinate gift to disregard the word's cries for reality.”
Jim Stovall

“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Decision making, like coffee, needs a cooling process.”
George Washington

“Because of our current representatives’ corruption, many Americans no longer trust the federal government. Some refuse to analyze the reasons for this distrust and prefer to think about other things, like sports, entertainment, and lifestyles of the rich and famous.

Ben Carson

Martin Luther King Jr

Leo Tolstoy

“People don't care how much you know unless you know how much you care”

Leo Tolstoy

“Make an impact with your connections. You don’t only connect because you want to get people who will help you. You also connect in order to get to know who you can help.”
Israelmore Ayivor

“Unfortunately, too many of our schools depend on inexperienced teachers with little training in the subjects they're teaching, and too often those teachers are concentrated in already struggling schools.”
