“HONOR. This means that a girl is not satisfied with keeping the letter of the law when she really breaks it in spirit. LOYAL. This means that she is true to her country, to the city or village where she is a citizen, to her family, her church, her school, and those for whom she may work or who may work for her. HELPFUL. The simplest way of saying this for the very young Scout is to do a good turn to someone every day: that is, to be a giver and not a taker. This is the spirit that makes the older Scout into a fine, useful, dependable woman.” WayMayMeanCountrySchoolLawYoungSpiritTurnsGirlChurchCitiesBreakFineCitizensHonorLettersSatisfiedHelpfulVillageLoyalSimplestGiverDependable Author:Juliette Gordon Low

“This project started nearly twenty years ago as an assignment in my typography class at art school. Students were encouraged to see letters beyond their dull, practical functionality. We played with their unique shapes and tinkered with their infinite possibilities. The challenge was hard, so the reward of “cracking” a word felt great. This became a lifelong project for me.” YearsArtHardSchoolFeltChallengesClassPossibilityStudentsShapesProjectsUniqueYears AgoLettersTwentiesInfiniteRewardsPracticalsDullLifelongAssignmentsArt SchoolInfinite PossibilitiesTypographyFunctionality Author:Ji Lee
“All that a university or final highest school. can do for us is still but what the first school began doing--teach us to read. We learn to read in various languages, in various sciences; we learn the alphabet and letters of all manner of books. But the place where we are to get knowledge, even theoretic knowledge, is the books themselves. It depends on what we read, after all manner of professors have done their best for us. The true university of these days is a collection of books.” FirstsStillsBookDoneSchoolLanguageCan DoEducationTeachDependsHighestLettersFinalsUniversityVariousThese DaysCollectionsProfessorsAlphabet Book:On Heroes, Hero-worship, and the Heroic in History: Six Lectures, Reported, with Emendations and Additions Source: On Heroes, Hero-worship, and the Heroic in History: Six Lectures, Reported, with Emendations and Additions
“If we traverse the world, it is possible to find cities without walls, without letters, without kings, without wealth, without coin, without schools and theatres; but a city without a temple, or that practiseth not worship, prayer, and the like, no one ever saw.” IfsWorldSchoolReligionWealthPrayerCitiesSawsWallKingsWorshipLettersTheatreTemplesCoinsTraverse Author:Plutarch
“Absolute freedom doesn't exist and never did. Just as we don't spit on the floor at work, swear at customers, or send out letters full of misspellings, so too we might have to 'watch our language.' It is odd that the request for unbiased language in schools and workplaces is considered intolerable when other limits on our freedom to do whatever we want are not.” WantMightSchoolLanguageWatchesLimitsLettersAbsolutesCustomersOddSwearWorkplaceRequestSpitAbsolute FreedomUnbiased Author:Rosalie Maggio
