William Glasser
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
William Glasser
When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.
William Glasser
The day we stop playing will be the day we stop learning.
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
Too many of us fail to fulfill our needs because we say no rather than yes, yes when we should say no.
William Glasser
Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.
William Glasser
