Why do we love educational quotes so much? Is it the poetry, art, wit, intelligence and soul that they exude?
Or is it more about us, and how they make us feel?
I think that the best quotes feed our senses in a myriad of ways. Here are some examples to get you inspired.
These days, I’m often more inspired by quotes freshly coined by my colleagues or current thought leaders than I am by well-known quotes coming from classical literature. I think it’s because I like to be smitten by the 21st century thoughts I serendipitously stumble across while navigating the cloud. They are personal, they are real, and they are written by people like you and me, people who want to make a difference.
( Disclaimer: I’m only human and don’t have time to read everything – these are blogs or educators I’m most familiar with.)
I have decided that Oscar Wilde, William butler Yeats, and other giants in literature will have to step aside just for today so that we can appreciate the here and now. Only so much can fit in one article [*winks*].
