“I am very sure that my children thrive on structure and need boundaries. I know my children need to know what time they are going to bed or how many more minutes until they are leaving for school, and so I have imposed a structure that allows them to know where they are all day long, every day in life.” KnowsNeedsChildrenLongSchoolMinutesBedStructureLeavingBoundariesMy ChildrenThrive Author:Jessica Seinfeld
“I failed to get into drama school, and my best friend told me I should do stand-up instead. I was always doing gags and voices, so he booked a gig for me without telling me. I only had four days to write it. I did a seven-minute set; the first four minutes were terrible, but the last two were amazing.” ShouldWritingFirstsTwoSchoolLastsVoiceFourMinutesTerribleDramaSevenMy Best FriendGigsGags Author:Marcus Brigstocke

“The motion of the stars calculated by the Hindus before some 4500 years vary not even a single minute from the tables of Cassine and Meyer (used in the 19-th century). The Indian tables give the same annual variation of the moon as the discovered by Tycho Brahe - a variation unknown to the school of Alexandria and also to the Arabs who followed the calculations of the school ... The Hindu systems of astronomy are by far the oldest and that from which the Egyptians, Greek, Romans and - even the Jews derived from the Hindus their knowledge.” GivingYearsSchoolUsedStarsMinutesCenturyMoonTablesJewAstronomyIndianGreekVariationVaryCalculationsAnnualsAlexandria Author:Jean Sylvain Bailly

“But you go to a great school, not for knowledge so much as for arts and habits; for the habit of attention, for the art of expression, for the art of assuming at a moment's notice a new intellectual posture, for the art of entering quickly into another person's thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure and refutation, for the art of indicating assent or dissent in graduated terms, for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy, for the habit of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination, for mental courage and mental soberness.” PersonsArtMomentsSchoolGivenTermAttentionMinutesExpressionHabitTasteIntellectualAssumingWork OutDiscriminationEnteringDissentAccuracyPostureCensureRefutationGreat Schools Author:William Johnson Cory
