:HAPPY HALLOWEEN:

Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see.

Linus, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"

:9/11: Reflect

“Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend-even a friend whose name it never knew."

President George W. Bush, December 11, 2001

:QUOTES: on LEARNING according to Bedford, Bernard & Gandhi...

I really can't believe that Kaitlin will already be going back to school in one week!!

Summer has gone WAY too fast for my taste. Personally, I think it's silly that school starts SO early...what happened to the days of school starting after Labor Day??

However, Kaitlin is so excited about 3rd grade and going back to school, so in honor of her enthusiasm, here's a few quotes about learning.

CLAY P. BEDFORD:
“You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.”

CLAUDE BERNARD (1813-1878; French physiologist):
“We can learn nothing except by going from the known to the unknown.”

MAHATMA GANDHI:
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
