My Fave quotes from Emperor's Club

"Ignorance can be educated...but stupidity last forever".

Have you watched 'Emperor's Club? If not, take time to read this entry and some posted comments on it and understand the other side of - 'being educated'.

These are some of my favorite quote from one of my favorite movie of all time:::

“Great ambition and conquest without contribution is without significance. What will your contribution be? How will history remember you?"

"Aristophanes once wrote, roughly translated; "Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but STUPID lasts forever."

"A great teacher has little external history to record. His life goes over into other lives. These men are pillars in the intimate structure of our schools. They are more essential than its stones or beams, and they will continue to be a kindling force and a revealing power in our live"

"The worth of a life is not determined by a single failure or a solitary success."

"However much we stumble, it is a teacher's burden always to hope, that with learning, a boys' character might be changed. And, so, the destiny of a man."

"History will tell us that you may not swim in the same river twice. Because an opportunity lost is lost forever. however, the water I find myself swimming in is very familiar to so many years ago.The waters in which we found ourselves swimming, were precisely as lovely as those we had earlier only imagined. But if time had made concessions for love, it made none for death."

"Socrates: It is not Living that is important, but Living rightly."

"The End Depends upon the Beginning."

A man's character is his fate...for most of us, our stories can be written long before we die.
