Have a great quote that you'd like to share with your students?
Many years ago~ Dick's Sporting Goods had a commercial with a quote that I thought really summed things up...
"Life is not a Spectator Sport!"
I tried to instill that thought with my students. "Use ever day to the fullest. Read~ try to make someone smile~ help someone~ say a kind word to someone~ dream things you d like to do and work to make them possible AND and at the end of the day~ be able to say~ Yes~ I used the day well! Remember...YOU make your own HISTORY!"
Another quote I posted in my room:
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men(and women) to do nothing ."( Burke) I shared with my students that its not always easy to break from the crowd" ~ but speak up for someone you feel is being mistreated~ dont stay silent~ for it may be you that hopes someone will speak up for you one day!
I thought it would be great to see quotes you value and would love to share.
