One of Christy's favorite quotes is:"âIn the sciences, the authority of thousands of opinions is not worth as much as one tiny spark of reason in an individual man.â -Galileo
"It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue. If we suffer their minds to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives."
-John Adams
"I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." Thomas Jefferson
I am of a sect by myself, as far as I know. When I am led by conversation to express my sentiments, I do it with the same independence here which I have practiced everywhere, and which is inseparable from my nature. I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction, is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all. "- Thomas Jefferson

ehood; it does not remain floating forever in a stagnant vacuum of neutrality and uncertainty; by assuming the responsibility of judgment, it reaches firm convictions and holds to them. Since it is able to prove its convictions, an active mind achieves an unassailable certainty in confrontations with assailantsâa certainty untainted by spots of blind faith, approximation, evasion and fear.â -Ayn Rand
âIn the sciences, the authority of thousands of opinions is not worth as much as one tiny spark of reason in an individual man.â -Galileo
âI think that in discussion of physical problems (Nature) we ought to begin not from the authority of scriptural passages, but from sense-experiences and necessary demonstrations.â -Galileo
"The child is the spiritual builder of mankind, and obstacles to his free development are the stones in the wall by which the soul of man has become imprisoned."
- Maria Montessori
"The concept of an education centered upon the care of the living being alters all previous ideas. Resting no longer on a curriculum, or a timetable, education must conform to the facts of human life."
- Maria Montessori
"The absorbent mind is indeed a marvelous gift to humanity! By merely 'living' and without and conscious effort the individual absorbs from the environment even a complex cultural achievement like language. If this essential mental form existed in the adult, how much easier would our studies be!"
- Maria Montessori
"How welcome to the philosopher is this picture of the human race, freed from all its chains, released from the domination of chance and from that of the enemies of its progressâ¦this contemplation is for him an asylum, where the memory of his persecutors cannot pursue him.
When he forgetsâ¦to give in thought with man restored to the right and dignity of his nature, in a paradise that his reason has been able to create, and his life of humanity enhanced with the purest of pleasures."
-Condorcet".
