   INSPIRATIONAL & MOTIVATIONAL

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

Man can learn nothing except by going from the known to the unknown.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

Quality performance (and quality service) starts with a positive attitude.

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Wisdom comes not from age, but from education and learning.

The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.

Education is a continual process, it’s like a bicycle… If you don’t pedal you don’t go forward.
