“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire itâ€

[Suutashi]

For the 95 per cent whose only means of schooling is the district or the city school, we must provide what we are not now providing, an education that will better fit them for the struggle of life.
Arthur Capper

[KawanoMino]

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.
Anatole France

"No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar."
-Abraham Lincoln

[Suutashi]

I knew when I grew up, I always wanted to be a liar, and if you're in television, you're lying because you're just pretending to be yourself much like I'm doing now.
John Ritter

"If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace."

Compassion is a call, a demand of nature, to relieve the unhappy as hunger is a natural call for food.
Joseph Butler

[Silver1412]

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.â€

[KawanoMino]

The moral arc of the universe bends at the elbow of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Academic chairs are many, but wise and noble teachers are few; lecture-rooms are numerous and large, but the number of young people who genuinely thirst after truth and justice is small.â€

[breva]

"God is waiting eagerly to respond with new strength to each little act of self-control, small disciplines of prayer, feeble searching after him. And his children shall be filled if they will only hunger and thirst after what he offers."
-Richard Holloway

[Suutashi]

Kitto  sagashite ita n da iroasenai  kimi to iu na no kiseki o
Motto  tsuyoku te no hira de boku ni furete  Ever and never end


Surely, I've searched for the unfading miracle named 'you'
Touch me with stronger palms; Ever and never end

Innocent Sorrow - Abingdon Boys School

[meitantei_mayu]

All of us aspire to give our children something more, leave a country to our children that is a better one, a stronger one, with better jobs and growth and opportunity.
Byron Dorgan

“I like flowers, I also like children, but I do not chop their heads and keep them in bowls of water around the house.â€

[Suutashi]

kanashige ni saku hana ni
kimi no omokage wo mita
daisuki na ame na no ni
naze ka kyou wa tsumetakute

awaku hakanaku yoru ni yurarete
tameiki hitotsu ochita hanabira

I saw traces of you
In a sadly blooming flower.
Even though I love the rain,
Today it seems so cold.

Faint , fleetingly, the flower sways in the night
Letting out a single sigh, a fallen flower petal

Gekkouka - Janne da Arc
