School is a building that has four walls-with tomorrow inside. Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds. There are many ways of going forward, but there is only one way of standing still. A lot of us would like to move mountains, but few of us are willing to practice on small hills. Doing your best is more important than being the best. Giant oak trees started out as little nuts. The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.

Ferdinand Foch

Francis Crick

If you don't know where you come from, it's difficult to determine where you are.- It's even more difficult to plan where you are going.

Small events and choices determine the direction of our lives just as small helms determine the directions of great ships.

If you don't live by priorities, you'll live by pressures. Either you determine what's important in life or other people will determine it for you.

Rick Warren

When the code of laws is once fixed, it should be observed in the literal sense, and nothing more is left to the judge than to determine whether an action is or is not conformable to the written law.

Cesare Beccaria
