When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.  

-Alexander Graham Bell

"It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."

-C.S. Lewis

‎"Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire." 

-William Butler Yeats
