It's the beginning of a new term and I wanted to share some quotations on teaching and learning that may be inspiring.

• "A single conversation across the table with a wise man is worth a month's study of books." Chinese Proverb
• "Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge." Kahlil Gibran
• "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at 20 or 80. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young." Henry Ford
• "Let me teach for a generation, and I will become ruler of the state." Napoleon
• "You can't push information into a child's brain: the brain must pull it in. When children lose trust they become loose horses. They try to survive any way they can." Monty Roberts 

And here is my favourite:

• "You can do anything with children if you only play with them." Bismark

Happy blogging!
