“If you want to feel secure, do what you already know how to do. If you want to be a true professional and continue to grow…go to the cutting edge of your competence, which means a temporary loss of security. So, whenever you don’t know quite what you’re doing, know you’re growing.” -Madeline Hunter, 1987 "I cannot live without books." - Thomas Jefferson "Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave." - Henry Peter Brougham (1778-1868) It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. - Aristotle The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead. -Aristotle Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think. -Ambrose Bierce It costs to be stupid.

Edwards Deming Only the educated are free. -Epictetus Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is that little voice at the end of the day that says: "I'll try again tomorrow." -Anne Hunninghake Experience is not what happens to you. It's what you do with what happens to you. -Aldous Huxley Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. -John F. Kennedy Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
