Well... I forgot homework when I went to work...

So I looked up quotes while working! :)
I still consider this productive time well spent.


There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." Richard Buckminster Fuller
{so never give up on the caterpillars}

"The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart, this you will build your life by, and this you will become." James Allen

"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." William Arthur Ward

"Blessed are those that can give without remembering and take without forgetting." Liz Bebesco

"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today." Dale Carnegie

"May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond." Irish Blessing

"The butterfly is a flying flower, the flower a tethered butterfly." Ponce Denis Écouchard Lebrun

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage." Lao Tzu

"If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry.

"The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up." Mark Twain

"All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Helen Keller

"The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face us with the reality of our powerlessness, that is the friend who cares." Henri JM Nouwen

"The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn." John Lubbock


"Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it." Margret Thatcher

"To wisdom belongs the intellectual apprehension of things eternal; to knowledge, the rational apprehension of things temporal." Saint Augustine
