"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and
blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails.
You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at
night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only
love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or
know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only
one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags
it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never
alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream
of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of
things there are to learn.”

ReplyDeleteHe is trying to tell us that if we work
together for a common goal it will be easier to get it done or make a change. We dont have to tackle all things by ourselves and its ok to ask for help when you need it. It takes teamwork when your dealing with big issues.
I strongly agree with you Vondrea because I strongly believe that unity is strength
ReplyDeleteHi Latoya!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed all of your quotations this week. I especially liked the quotes by Marian Wright Edelman. She is simply pointing out that adults should teach and love their children. Show them the way in the world!
The quote about doing small things (and big things) to make a difference is very interesting. At my son's school, they really stress the importance of doing small things that make a big difference in the lives of others. This gets the kids thinking and believing that they can make a positive difference, even by doing small deeds. I love this mentality! Thanks for sharing Latoya! Anne
Latoya, I think all your quotes are great. I love the quote by Mirian Wright Edelman which gives all adults the best recipe to raise children. We all make mistakes but will love them and supoort them always.
ReplyDeleteHello Latoya, I really enjoyed all the quotes you have posted, but I have to admit my favorite is " It is the responsibility to every adult... to make sure that children hear what we have learned from the lessons of life and to hear over and over that we love them and that they are not alone."
