One of Dawn's favorite quotes is:""Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy." -Mohandas Gandhi "If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else." -Booker T. Washington "Selfishness is the only real atheism; aspiration, unselfishness, the only real religion." -Franklin D. Roosevelt "Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves." -Horace Mann "All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence." -Martin Luther King, Jr. “If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. ... I get most joy in life out of music.” -Albert Einstein "Self-interest is the enemy of all true affection." -Franklin D. Roosevelt "From the equality of rights springs identity of our highest interests; you cannot subvert your neighbor's rights without striking a dangerous blow at your own." -Carl Schurz "A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting." -Henry David Thoreau "Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital." -Thomas Jefferson "If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost." -Aristotle "An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't." -Anatole France "I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft. I look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of artistic cultural opportunities for all of our citizens. And I look forward to an America which commands respect throughout the world not only for its strength but for its civilization as well." -John F. Kennedy "It's good to know how to read, but it's dangerous to know how to read and not how to interpret what you're reading." -Mike Tyson "Music can change the world because it can change people." -Bono "Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." -Victor Hugo "Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself." -John Dewey "There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me." -Thomas Jefferson "Quality is not an act, it is a habit." -Aristotle "Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery." -Horace Mann "Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples." -Franklin D. Roosevelt "The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself." -Mark Caine "Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him." -John Locke "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity." -Martin Luther King, Jr. "The key is to keep company only ...Expand for more
with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best." -Epictetus "There is a connection, hard to explain logically but easy to feel, between achievement in public life and progress in the arts. The age of Pericles was also the age of Phidias. The age of Lorenzo de Medici was also the age of Leonardo da Vinci, the age of Elizabeth also the age of Shakespeare, and the new frontier for which I campaign in public life, can also be a new frontier for American Art." -John F. Kennedy "Action expresses priorities." -Mohandas Gandhi "The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries." "Music is given to us with the sole purpose of establishing an order in things, including, and particularly, the coordination between man and time." -Igor Stravinsky "I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water." -Ray Charles "Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education." Franklin D. Roosevelt "The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music they should be taught to love it instead." -Igor Stravinsky "Don't ask me who's influenced me. A lion is made up of the lambs he's digested, and I've been reading all my life." -Charles de Gaulle "Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen." -Horace Mann "Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding." -Mohandas Gandhi "Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything." -Plato "Music is intended and designed for sentient beings that have hopes and purposes and emotions." -Jacques Barzun "The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large." -Conducius "Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort." -Franklin D. Roosevelt "He that loves reading has everything within his reach." -William Godwin "Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him, and to let him know that you trust him." -Booker T. Washington "One thing is sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at the moment... If it doesn't turn out right, we can modify it as we go along." -Franklin D. Roosevelt "To listen is an effort, and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also." -Igor Stravinsky "Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." -William James "You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club." -Jack London "Children should learn that reading is pleasure, not just something that teachers make you do in school." -Beverly Cleary "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little." -Franklin D. Roosevelt "Art is not an end in itself, but a means of addressing humanity." -Modest Mussorgsky "Always desire to learn something useful." -Sophocles "I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music." -Billy Joel "Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door." -Kyle Chandler "You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do." -Henry Ford "As a child, what captivated me was reading the poems myself and realizing that there was a world without material substance which was nevertheless as alive as any other." Mary Oliver "If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace." -Franklin D. Roosevelt "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." -Mohandas Gandhi".
