Mother Nature - a difficult lady to fool. You have only to give women
the same opportunity as men, and you will soon find out what is or is
not in their nature. What is in women's nature to do they will do, and
you won't be able to stop them. But you will also find, and so will they,
that what is not in their nature, even if they are given every opportunity,
they will not do, and you won't be able to make them do it."
Clare Boothe Luce
"He discovered his genius the day he dared to give up pleasing others."
Andre Malraux
"I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element
in the classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a
tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be
a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor,
hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a
crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and child humanized or dehumanized." Haim Ginott
