Quotes:

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Living is learning and when kids are living fully and energetically and happily they are learning a lot, even if we don't always know what it is. " ~John Holt

"I think it's important to live in the NOW, and not worry about the future. for if the present is abundant with rich experiences in the real world, how can they fail?" ~ Marcia (Homeschooling Mom)

"Like them (your children). Enjoy their company, their physical presence, their energy, their foolishness and passion. Enjoy all their talk and questions. Think of children as friends, feel happier when they are near and miss them when they are gone. Trust children as people, respect their fragile dignity, treat them with courtesy, take them seriously. Feel some of your child's wonder, curiosity and excitement about the world. Have enough confidence in yourself, skepticism about experts and willingness to be diferent from most people." ~ John Holt

"Listen to all the teachers in the woods. Watch the trees, the animals and all living things - you will learn more from them than from books." ~ Joe Coyhis, STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE (Native American)

"Boredom is a choice!" ~ me to my kids

" Fair is when everyone gets what he or she needs, not necessarily what he or she wants!" ~ me to my kids

" I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief." ~ Gerry Spence ( poet & photographer)

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. " ~Henry David Thoreau

"The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit; And the the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its way with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings. As the shadow follows the body. As we think, so we become." ~ Buddha

"Happiness consists not in having what you want, but in wanting what you have." ~ Confucius

"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."
~Edgar Degas

" Creativity take courage." ~ Henri Matisse
