Married in Heaven

On their way to getting married, a young couple is involved in a fatal car accident. They find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates, waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While waiting, they begin to wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven? When St. Peter shows up, they ask him. St. Peter says, ‘I don’t know. This is the first time anyone has asked that. Let me go and find out,’ and he leaves.
The couple sit and wait, and wait. Two months pass and the couple is still waiting. As they wait, they discuss that if they were allowed to get married in Heaven, what was the eternal aspect of it all. ‘What if it doesn’t work?’ they wondered. ‘Are we stuck together forever?’
After yet another month, St. Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled. ‘Yes,’ he informs the couple, ‘you can get married in Heaven.’
‘Great!’ says the couple, ‘But we were just wondering, what if things don’t work out? Can we also get a divorce in Heaven?’
St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slams his clipboard onto the ground.
‘What’s wrong?’ ask the frightened couple.
‘OH, COME ON!’ St. Peter shouts, ‘It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it’ll take me to find a lawyer?’

 Birthday Girl

  Maria Montessori

  

The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."
Maria Montessori

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.
Maria Montessori

Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
Maria Montessori

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.
Maria Montessori

If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?
Maria Montessori

The first idea the child must acquire is that of the difference between good and evil.
Maria Montessori

The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon.
Maria Montessori

We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.
Maria Montessori

We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.
Maria Montessori

One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.
Maria Montessori

The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!
Maria Montessori

Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.
Maria Montessori

If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.
Maria Montessori

If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.
Maria Montessori

To aid life, leaving it free, however, that is the basic task of the educator.
Maria Montessori

The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.
Maria Montessori

We cannot create observers by saying 'observe,' but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses.
Maria Montessori

Todays Quote

Birthday Boy 

Warren Buffett

You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing.
Warren Buffett

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.
Warren Buffett

I always knew I was going to be rich. I don't think I ever doubted it for a minute.
Warren Buffett

Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.
Warren Buffett

It's better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you'll drift in that direction.
Warren Buffett

I buy expensive suits. They just look cheap on me.
Warren Buffett

Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.
Warren Buffett

If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end - people like myself - should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it.
Warren Buffett

I don't look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.
Warren Buffett

Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction.
Warren Buffett

In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.
Warren Buffett

I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.
Warren Buffett

Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.
Warren Buffett

Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.
Warren Buffett

Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.
Warren Buffett

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Warren Buffett

The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.
Warren Buffett

When you combine ignorance and leverage, you get some pretty interesting results.
Warren Buffett

A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought.
Warren Buffett

Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
Warren Buffett
