    My fav is always 'Obstinate, headstrong girl!', pretty all purpose, even a little gt-oriented, now that I think about it smile.

    I saw this bumper sticker today: What we need in schools is a 'Moment of Science'. Thought that was pretty good too. (nothing against the moment of silence...)

    I got a big kick out of "Between the Loins" myself!

    Actually, I keep trying to think of ways to work it into the conversation on the forum, but I haven't found a good opportunity. I think it should become some sort of rallying cry, akin to "For the grandchildren!"

    Only very, very different, of course...

    wink

    Here's one I like, by Carl Rogers:

    "What I am is good enough, if I would only be it openly"

    I like the Garth Brooks song "The Change". It seems schools want to make our kids conform instead of the other way around.

    Here's one for today.

    "Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns how to be amused rather than shocked."

    --Pearl S. Buck

    heres one:

    "Know the truth, and the truth shall make your free"

    "Tell the truth, and the truth shall make you free of foolish, cruel, and counter-productive educational policies"

    sorry I don't know who said this, I'm not even sure if the same person said both, it seemed like it went together smile
