One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude
to those who touched our human feelings.
The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element
for the growing plant and for the soul of the child."
~Carl Jung~



To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
