Tell me a fact and I will learn. Tell me a truth and I will believe. Tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.
 

 

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 do know and what you don’t
 

 

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance
 

 

A great teacher is one who realizes that he himself is also a student and whose goal is not to dictate the answers, but to stimulate his students creativity enough so that they go out and find the answers themselves.
 

 

I hear and I forget.   I see and I remember.   I do and I understand.
 

 

The academic community has in it the biggest concentration of alarmists , cranks, and extremists this side of the giggle house
 

 

He who asks is a fool for five minutes ,he who does not ask is a fool forever
 

 

In the long run men hit only what they aim at.  Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.
 

 

Education is not the filling of a pail,  It is the igniting of a fire.

This is one of my guiding principles in all my roles as a teacher.  (John J.)
