Amazing teacher quotes

1. You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone's hand.
2. You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.
3. You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
4. The most important part of you will always be what's inside.
5. On the every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.

People are often unreasonable and self centered
FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY.
If you are kind, poeple may accuse you of ulterior motives
BE KIND ANYWAY.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
BE HONEST ANYWAY.

BE HAPPY ANYWAY.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow
DO GOOD ANYWAY.
Give the world th ebest you have, and it may never be enough.
GIVE YOUR BEST ANYWAY.
