ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING

THE EMPEROR'S CLUB QUOTES

“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 lives.”

“It is not living that is important, but living properly. Socrates chose to die an
unjust death, a death he freely accepted, rather than break the laws of Athens to
which he pledged his loyalty.”

“A man's character is his fate. And as a student of history, I find this hard to
refute. For most of us our stories can be written long before we die.”

“The end depends upon the beginning.”

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

“According to Heraclitus, we cannot step into the same river twice. To put it
another way, an opportunity lost stays lost forever.”

“As I've gotten older, I realize I'm certain of only two things. Days that begin with
rowing on a lake are better than days that do not. Second, a man's character is his
fate.”

"Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness

sobered, but STUPID lasts forever."

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