Don't marry someone you would not be friends with if there was no sex between you.

The faster you go, the more students you leave behind. It doesn't matter how much or how fast you teach. The true measure is how much students have learned.

William Glasser
Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.
William Glasser
There is no real reason to fail a child, Once children start failing, they begin to believe that they can't do anything. They give up.
William Glasser
I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.
William Glasser
They have this big book called the 'DSM-IV,' you know, that is supposedly written about crazy people, but I think it is a book that is written by crazy people!
William Glasser
The Compassionate Classroom is a fabulous book! If teachers will read it, they can transform their classrooms.
William Glasser
What happened in the past that was painful has a great deal to do with what we are today, but revisiting this painful past can contribute little or nothing to what we need to do now.
William Glasser
The day we stop playing will be the day we stop learning.
William Glasser
We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.
