A poignant paradox is that sometimes the very desire to be a good mother or father will lead the parent to mistake duty for love.

No act of kindness is wasted.

Education is about inviting every single person who enters a school to realize his or her relatively boundless potential in all areas of worthwhile human endeavor. It is concerned with more than grades, attendance, and academic achievement. It is concerned with the process of becoming a decent and productive human being.

Love like you'll never be hurt.

Human potential, though not always apparent, is there waiting to be discovered and invited forth.

You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt

Speak from the heart to be heard.

Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth.
