Quotes that make up one half of laminated book mark I hastily made as Christmas present for students, after realizing some would get no Christmas presents (bookmark + candy bar = sum total of my gifts, in both senses of the word):

"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."--William Butler Yeats


"Knowledge is the food of the soul."-- Plato


"The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you."-- B.B. King


"Not to know is bad, not to wish to know is worse."-- Nigerian Proverb


"Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough."-- Kermit the Frog


“Keep on rocking in the free world.”--Neil Young
