More quotes by 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
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
William Glasser
It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice.

William Glasser
Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.
William Glasser

William Glasser
When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.
William Glasser
The Compassionate Classroom is a fabulous book! If teachers will read it, they can transform their classrooms.
William Glasser
We learn... 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we both hear and see 70% of what is discussed 80% of what we experience personally 95% of what we teach to someone else
William Glasser
The more a person perceives that he/she is loved, the less they will interfere with the lives of others.
William Glasser
We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
William Glasser
Sex is on the minds of most people, especially those who shouldn't be having it.
William Glasser
If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior. In other words, begin to act the part, as well as you can, of the person you would rather be, the person you most want to become. Gradually, the old, fearful person will fade away.
William Glasser
There are only two places in the world where time takes precedence over the job to be done. School and prison.
William Glasser
Don't marry someone you would not be friends with if there was no sex between you.
William Glasser
When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.
