Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

It is always better to be underestimated.

There are three things that are better than riches: Health, Freedom, and Honor.

Think swiftly, speak softly, act wisely.

"The world is neither Scottish, English, nor Irish, neither French, Dutch, nor Chinese, but human, and each nation is only the partial development of a universal humanity." - James Grant on founding the National Association for the Vindication of Scottish Rights, 1862

The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.

OK, the homeschooling info session was good. The woman who spoke before me gave a good overview of homeschooling methods, so I ended up not needing to use the list I’d prepared last night. But I’m glad I made it anyway. It’s always good to reacquaint oneself with the pros and cons of different homeschooling methods. I rambled on beyond everyone’s interest probably, but there it is.

One very nice side effect of the session was meeting a woman who wants to host my local homeschooling website – thankyouthankyouthankyou. I’m glad to know that the last year’s energy and efforts aren’t going to be tossed to the winds just because we’re moving away.

May the Force be with us all, Share!
