Sticky Post #1: Quotes to Prompt Students' Thinking

Hey, everyone!

What is a "sticky post," you ask? Well, this is the part where I let you know about a new thing I am doing with the blog. I am going to start doing posts where I keep collections of useful information, ideas, and/or teaching methods, which I will constantly update. For these type of posts, I will put them under the tag "sticky posts" so that they will be easier to find. These won't make up the whole of the blog, but they will be something that I try to do whenever a new idea strikes me.

---

For this particular post, I will be collecting what I feel are important and thought-provoking quotes to include in lessons mainly for the purpose of prompting my students to think about life. Some of these might connect to specific ideas or lessons and others might just be quotes for further miscellaneous use.

See below and as always with my sticky posts, feel free to revisit them periodically to see if any new ideas have been added to the collection:

Altruism/Kindness:

"If you're helping someone and expecting something in return, you're doing business not kindness."

Thinking for Yourself/Taking Initiative:

"You've always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself." -The Wizard of Oz

Writing

"I wrote my first novel because I wanted to read it." Toni Morrison

More quotes to be added periodically! Please let me know if you have any other quotes you'd like to see added to this list!
