Character Quotes

Homeschool mom, Sheri gave me the idea to have the kids copy "character quotes". I thought it was a fantastic idea and we have incorporated it as character/ handwriting into our day too.

Jefferson's Ten Rules
Never put off until tomorrow
what you can do today.
Never trouble another for what you
can do yourself.
Never spend your money before
you have earned it.
Never buy what you don't want
because it is cheap.
Pride costs more than hunger, thirst,
and cold.
We seldom repent of having eaten
too little.
Nothing is troublesome that we
do willingly.
How much pain the evils have cost us
that have never happened.
Take things always by the
smooth handle
When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry,
count a hundred

~President Thomas Jefferson~


Pass It On
Have you hada kindness shown?
Pass it on!
'Twas not given for thee alone,
Pass it on!
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
Till in heaven the deed appears -
Pass it on!

- Henry Burton -



The most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things.
- Plato-

There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy’s life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure. - Mark Twain-
