Quotable Quotes

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

~Psychologist Abraham Maslow

The MyPaper writer

quoted this in her article titled

'Good writing means more than just getting A's'

but it seems to be

the most convenient tool to turn to

when test scores

are the final arbiter of a student or teacher's value.

Quotable Quotes

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. ~ Albert Einstein

How true..I tried to do something very few, very few people dare to do..

you can call it new..

And I immediately realise words once uttered can't be taken back

A mistake is a mistake, and it was in mid 2009.

It was not acceptable.

It'll be remembered as long as my memory can function

To remind me not to make another similar one..

This year

I'll try someting new

To be a good mother, wife, daughter, daug-in-law, sister, sis-in-law..

many, many roles..

Quotable quotes for self-reflection

More and more people are beginning to realise that the survival of our planet depends on our sense of belonging--to all other humans, to dolphins caught in dragnets, to chickens and pigs and calves raised in animal concentration camps, to redwoods and rainforests, to kelp beds in our oceans, and to the ozone layer.

More and more people are becoming aware that every act that affirms this belonging is a moral act of worship, the fulfillment of a precept written in every human heart.
~Brother David Steindl-Rast
