Quotations of the day

So, the kids have been doing copy work for school. Then, if possible, they memorize the quotations or scriptures they copy (copy work helps with penmanship and learning grammar and punctuation - also, I heard that if you memorize something every day, you can develop a photographic memory - worth a try!). I thought I would share our quotations of the day with you. We have done 4 so far:

"All of you are children of the most high."
Psalms 82:6

"Character is doing the right thing when nobody is looking."
J.C. Watts

"With books we stand on the shoulders of giants."
John Locke

"The things taught in colleges and schools are not an education, but the means of education."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
