The following are selections from a mailing list I've been on for years - Quotation of the day:
"The seeds of great discoveries are constantly floating around us, but they only take root in minds well prepared to receive them."
- Joseph Henry, physicist
"It is not enough to be industrious; so are the ants. What are you industrious about?"
- Henry Thoreau (1817-1862)
"A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules."
- Anthony Trollope
"In times of drastic change, it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists."
- Eric Hoffer
"To demand that others should provide you with textbook answers is like asking a strange woman to give birth to your baby. There are insights that can be born only of your own pain, and they are the most precious."
- Janusz Korczak
