Monday

Read the following famous sayings and proverbs, translate them and try to remember them.

1. There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure. - Colin Powell

2. I will prepare and someday my chance will come. - Abraham Lincoln

3. Some of the best lessons we ever learn we learn from our mistakes and failures. The error of the past is the wisdom of the future. - Tryon Edwards

4. Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it; men come to be builders, for instance, by building, and harp players by playing the harp. In the same way, by doing just acts we come to be just; by doing self-controlled acts, we come to be self-controlled; and by doing brave acts, we become brave. - Aristotle

5. Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

- Denis Waitley 6. Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher.

- Parker J. Palmer 7. Don't ever dare to take your college as a matter of course -- because, like democracy and freedom, many people you'll never know have broken their hearts to get it for you. - Alice Miller

8. I'm interested in learning that's motivated by reverence for life, that's motivated by a desire to learn skills, to learn new things that help us to better contribute to our own well-being and the well-being of others. And what fills me with great sadness is any learning that I see motivated by coercion. - Marshall Rosenberg

9. The giving of love is an education in itself. - Eleanor Roosevelt

10. The essence of our effort to see that every child has a chance must be to assure each an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different -- to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses.

- John Fischer

11. Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. - Robert Frost

12. For everyone of us that succeeds, it's because there's somebody there to show you the way out. The light doesn't always necessarily have to be in your family; for me it was teachers and school. - Oprah Winfrey

13. Genius without education is like silver in the mine. - Benjamin Franklin

14. A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring; There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again. - Alexander Pope

15. The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind. - Kahlil Gibran
