Famous Quotes & Sayings

Tony Russa

He's an excellent player. We've seen that. He's been exceptional defensively. He had a tough stretch before the break but he's been outstanding. The knee slowed him down some for a while, but he's healthy.

Avi Rubin

It is a complete and devastating break of the security of wireless networks.

Ned Yost

I think that this organization for 12 years had gotten used to losing and you have to break that cycle. That's why 81-81 was a big step for us. It broke the cycle.

O. Henry

I was actually really impressed with that. To get out there and break 54 seconds, I was really shocked at that.

Reuben Thorne

I have had a genuine break and been able to do some good work conditioning-wise. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season.

Wayne Rooney

I don't know about the World Cup. Obviously I'm disappointed to get injured as I have done. I'm devastated to break my foot. At this moment in time it's horrible, really, but you have got to get on with it, be positive and try to get fit as soon as possible.

Meg Whitman

I want to work with the teachers' union. But as I said out there, we have to put the kids first and we are letting down a generation of California children. It's not acceptable.

Maria Montessori

The environment itself will teach the child, if every error he makes is manifest to him, without the intervention of a parent of teacher, who should remain a quiet observer of all that happens.

Nick Harkaway

People don't want children to know what they need to know. They want their kids to know what they ought to need to know. If you're a teacher you're in a constant battle with mildly deluded adults who think the world will get better if you imagine it is better. You want to teach about sex? Fine, but only when they're old enough to do it. You want to talk politics? Sure, but nothing modern. Religion? So long as you don't actually think about it. Otherwise some furious mob will come to your house and burn you for a witch.

Michael Jackson

The teacher always used me as an example to the class of good English and good storytelling because we all had to write the same stories. But she used to make me go out front - which I hated - and read my story to the class and I would get huge applause. Not because of who I was but because they truly enjoyed the stories I wrote.

Herbert Spencer

Any piece of knowledge which the pupil has himself acquired- any problem which he has himself solved, becomes, by virtue of the conquest, much more thoroughly his than it could else be. The preliminary activity of mind which his success implies, the concentration of thought necessary to it, and the excitement consequent on his triumph, conspire to register the facts in his memory in a way that no mere information heard from a teacher, or read in a schoolbook, can be registered.

Ellen Barkin

I studied acting for 10 years before I went for an audition. I studied with Lee Strasberg and Actors Studio teachers, and went to the High School of Performing Arts.

Sandra Cisneros

I was reading Emily Dickinson and Edwin Arlington Robinson, but these weren't the poets that influenced me. I think Gwendolyn Brooks influenced me because she wrote about Chicago, and she wrote about poor people. And she influenced me in my life by giving me a blurb. I would see her in action, and she listened to every single person. She didn't say, "Oh, I'm tired. I gotta go." She was there, and present, with every single person. She's one of the great teachers.

Rory Bremner

My first public impression was my French teacher, Derek Swift.
