Quote About Questions

Hi everyone! Today I’m teaching my German class, so I thought I’d share our Quote of the Day from last week’s German class: “Wer nicht fragen kann, kann nichts lernen.” –Sprichwort It’s a German proverb that basically means “If you can’t ask questions, you can’t learn anything.” I thought it was a good reminder that it’s not a problem if you don’t know something–the problem...

Stephen Covey On Priorities

Hello! I’ve got another quote for us today. This one was from our class on Tuesday. I liked the quote, but didn’t have a good picture to represent urgency or importance, so I just put the quote on this picture of a rose I took a few years ago: “Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on...

Zig Ziglar on Attitude

Hi everyone! Here’s a Quote of the Day from our class on Tuesday: I took this picture on a flight from Colorado to Costa Rica–the clouds were beautiful that day. In case you can’t see the image, here’s the quote again: “Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.” – Zig Ziglar Can you rephrase or explain what that quote means? If so, feel...

Carnegie on Accomplishments

Hi again! We’ve got another fast post today with a Quote of the Day. This one was presented by my student Valeria: “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” – Dale Carnegie I thought it was a good quote; what do you think? One vocabulary note:...

Thomas Jefferson on Attitude

I’ve been busy, so it’s been a few weeks since I posted a Quote of the Day here. My students have been presenting the quotes in class lately, so here’s a good one, courtesy of Thomas Jefferson (via my student Aldhana): “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal. Nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong...

Mark Twain on Truth

You have probably heard of Mark Twain if you study English. He’s one of the most popular American authors and humorists of all time. He wrote The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, among many others. I really like his writing style, and he had a lot of good quotes, especially about truth. In fact, this whole page is full of Twain’s quotes about truth. Which...

Maybe if you just hear his name, you’ll say “no,” but if you look at this video or the picture above, you may say,...

Gabriel García Márquez on Memories

You may have heard in the news (especially if you live in Latin America) that the Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez died last week. Because of that, I decided to use a Quote of the Day from him for last Thursday: “What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.” – Gabriel Garcia Marquez Have...
Audrey Hepburn on Impressions

Yesterday’s Quote of the Day was by Audrey Hepburn: “You can tell more about a person by what he says than you can by what others say about him.” -Audrey Hepburn Did you get that? It may take a moment, since the way she’s saying it is a bit confusing. What do you think it means? If you’d like to learn more about Audrey Hepburn,...
