Famous Quotes & Sayings

Ellen DeGeneres

We put the wrong emphasis on what beauty is and what health is. Health is being vibrant and having energy and being happy.

R. Ingram

There were times when only 10 or 12 guys would show up and go through the motions of a practice. There was no energy and no desire. This was not the place to be.

Albert Einstein

David Suzuki

Geothermal can be a huge source of energy very quickly.

Doug Wojcik

To go up like we did, we would have liked to have gained energy and put them away, and we just didn't.

Justin Rattner

We are really focused on minimizing energy per instruction. That's the new mantra.

Kevin Pittsnogle

We've been down since Pitt. Our energy is always great at this time of the year, and especially this year. You have to be ready to play when it could be your last game.

Andrew Bogut

We get down by 15 and we come back, but we exert so much energy and then we get down again. It's never-ending. It's been like that all season.

Maya Angelou

At our best, we're all teachers

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.
