Ameliorism: the desire to solve social problems by reforming individuals.

“And I understand. I understand why people hold hands: I’d always thought it was about possessiveness, saying ‘This is mine.’ But it’s about maintaining contact. It is about speaking without words. It is about I want you with me and don’t go.” —unknown

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

—– Dorothy Nevill

‎"Teaching may not be a lucrative position. It cannot guarantee financial security. It even means investing your personal time, energy, and resources. Sometimes it means disappointments, heartaches, and pains. But touching the hearts of people and opening the minds of children can give you joy and contentment which money could not buy. These are the moments I teach for. These are the moments I live for.

—Dr. Josette T. Biyo

Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, or my kindness for weakness.

This is what happens when teachers are bored.

You may not see it now,“ said the Princess of Pure Reason, looking knowingly at Milo’s puzzled face, "but whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the ripples in the pond; and whenever you’re sad, no one anywhere can be really happy. And it’s much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer.
