God took the fragrance of a flower, the majesty of a tree, the gentleness of morning dew, the calm of a quite sea, the beauty of the twilight hour, the soul of a starry night, the laughter of the ripping brook, the grace of a bird in flight, the tender care of an angel, the patience of eternity, the depth of a family's need, then God fashioned from these things a creation like no other, and when His masterpiece was through he called it simply; Mother.

One day he was weighed down by family problems. Putting the pot of water aside, he sat down dispiritedly. He tried hard but could not come out of depression. "What am I worth?Am I meant to be a gardener all my life? People everywhere are enjoying comforts. Why not I? I must be a pauper, a sinner." he blamed himself. At this point, the pot spoke, "O Gardener! This frustration over a trifle is unworthy of you. The desired fruit is attained only through difficulties. Look at me. I started out as mud, trampled by everyone. Then a potter picked me up. He mixed me, with water, crushed me, mounted me on a wheel, spun me around, hammered me, fashioned me into this shape and roasted me in fire at length. That is not at all. I had to endure endless pain from buyers who assessed my quality by knocking me wi

Ingersoll A good teacher must know how to arouse the interest of the pupil in the field of study for which he is responsible, he must himself be a master in the field and be in touch with the latest developments in his subject, he must himself be a fellow traveller in the exciting pursuit of knowledge.                                                                                                          -Dr. S.

Little words are the sweetest to hear; Little charities fly farthest, and stay longest in the wing; Little lakes are the stillest; Little hearts are the fullest, And little farms are the best tilled. Little books are read the most, And little songs the dearest loved. And when nature would make anything especially rare and beautiful, she makes it little: little pearls, little diamonds, little dews. Life is made up of "little"; death is what remains of them all. day is made up of little beams, and night is glorious with little stars.                                              -Cath. Quote
