It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
- William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind.

- Dr. Seuss

Vouloir nous brûle et pouvoir nous détruit.
mais SAVOIR laisse notre faible organisation
dans un perpétuel état de calme.

- La peau de chagrin, Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850)

Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you
without coming away better and happier.
- Mother Teresa (1910-1997)

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single kind act
is better than a thousand head-bowings in prayer.
-Saadi, poet (c. 1200 AD)

There is a field beyond all notions of right and wrong.
Come, meet me there
.
-Rumi, poet and mystic (1207-1273)

Be like the bird, who halting in his flight
On limb too slight,
Feels it give way beneath him, yet sings
Knowing he has wings.

-Victor Hugo, writer (1802-1885)

There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.
-Leonard Cohen, musician (1934- )
