Ron Stoney, MD, a former student of our grammar school at Villa Angelica (Carmel) 1942 - 1944, shared this list of inspiring education quotes with us...we think it's worth a larger audience!

• "None of us got where we are, solely by pulling ourselves up by our boot straps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots!" - Thurgood Marshall

• "Seven things we love about our teachers: humor, heart, smile, positive attitude, spirit, compassion and faith." - unknown

• "In education there are no permanent roles, teachers become students, students become teachers." - unknown

• "The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." - Mark Van Doren

• "Great students are a resource for life." - Enid Larson, my Carmel High School science teacher
