To Inspire

Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.
Napoleon Hill

We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do.
Samuel Smiles

He that is down needs fear no fall.
John Bunyan

One who fears failure limits his activities.
Failure is only the opportunity to more
intelligently begin again.
Henry Ford

Our greatest glory consist not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Oliver Goldsmith

Experience teaches slowly, and at the cost of mistakes.
James A. Froude

A man's life is interesting primarily when he has failed--I well know.
For it's a sign that he tried to surpass himself.
Georges Clemenceau

*though this is to remind me to be more pragmatic rather than overachieving

There is no failure except in no longer trying.
Elbert Hubbard

"Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another." -- Marva Collins

"If a seed of a lettuce will not grow, we do not blame the lettuce. Instead, the fault lies with us for not having nourished the seed properly." - Buddhist proverb

"Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers." --Josef Albers

"We learn by example and by direct experience because there are real limits to the adequacy of verbal instruction." -- Malcom Gladwell

Whatever you want to teach, be brief.
Horace

To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching. To attain it we must be able to guess what will interest: we must learn to read the childish soul as we might a piece of music. Then, by simply changing the key, we keep up the attraction anil vary the song.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Never try to teach a pig to sing....it wastes
your time and annoys the pig.
Anonymous

"Awaken people's curiosity. It is enough to open minds, do not overload them. Put there just a spark."

Anatole France

"Education...is a painful, continual and difficult work to be done in kindness, by watching, by warning,... by praise, but above all -- by example."

John Ruskin

"Getting things done is not always what is most important. There is value in allowing others to learn, even if the task is not accomplished as quickly, efficiently or effectively."

R.D. Clyde

"Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers."

Josef Albers

"If the child is not learning the way you are teaching, then you must teach in the way the child learns"
