William Glasser
Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world.
William Glasser
Prior to being allowed to enter the profession, prospective teachers should be asked to talk with a group of friendly students for at least half an hour and be able to engage them in an interesting conversation about any subject the prospective teacher wants to talk about.

The Compassionate Classroom is a fabulous book! If teachers will read it, they can transform their classrooms.
William Glasser
Unlike the weak, the strong neither give up nor are driven by pain into rash or stupid behavior. They don't like pain any more than anyone else, but they are not willing to settle for short-term relief if it means reducing their options later. They don't rob Peter to pay Paul, they face reality now.
William Glasser
If everyone could learn that what is right for me does not make it right for anyone else, the world would be a much happier place.
William Glasser
There are only two places in the world where time takes precedence over the job to be done. School and prison.
