Great Quotes
by Jane Bluestein, Ph.D.
Every now and then I come across a quote that really touches or inspires me. I’ve used many in a couple of my books (particularly Creating Emotionally Safe Schools and Magic, Miracles and Synchronicity), and thought I’d start building a page to contain new quotes I discover. I will attribute the source whenever I can.*
Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.

Aspire to inspire before you expire.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
—Marcel Proust (email from Richard Biffle)
Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground.
—(sent by Stephen Haslam)
