Since I'm a professional quote hoarder, I've started adding more prints to my gallery wall. Surprising? Not really. As a result, I've been spending even more time on Pinterest, and I've stumbled across some quotes that are just exquisite.
Getting back into the school groove takes motivation, whether you're a teacher or a student. When you're moving to a new school, it's even more draining. One million questions are probing your mind: What are the people like? Will all of the upperclassmen hate me? What if I can't make the sports team? The list goes on and on. Forget about those little questions, and focus on the meanings of these quotes. As they say, "We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think."

Love,

A Thought for the Day
"I raise up my voice--not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard."
Great quotes! I really like the Da Vinci one
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michelle! I'm also partial to that quote.
DeleteI just love this post!! All of these quotes are wonderful, and they work too.....my nerves are calmed. You can never go wrong with Dr. Suess: My homeroom teacher in sixth grade read "Oh The Places You Will Go" on the first day of school.
