When I was young, I memorized many poems that still come to mind today when I need their messages of hope and perseverance the most. Some of the most dynamic, effective schools I have visited have motivational posters everywhere. (even in the staff bathrooms!) Here are some great thoughts to inspire you and your students!
“He who opens a school door, closes a prison.” ~Victor Hugo
“The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. “ ~Robert Maynard Hutchins
“I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think” – Socrates
“The world does not pay for what a person knows. But it pays for what a person does with what he knows.” --Laurence Lee
“When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people happy.”
--Samuel Goldwyn
