One typical day during 6th period AP Language and Composition, my teacher, Mr. Malossi approaches and leaves a book on my desk… 2,548 Best Things Anybody Has Ever Said. He proceeds to tell me to pick a quote from the book, and put it up on the whiteboard (located in room 218). Since then, I have taken initiative to put up a new quote (and fact) each turn of the week. That being said, here are 5 of the best quotes that have been up on the board, in no particular order.

1. “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it” -William Arthur Ward
2. “I wish you Hunger, I wish you Hard Work, I wish you Uncertainty” – Rita Dove
3. “Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there”- Will Rogers
4. “To live is the rarest thing in the world…” -Oscar Wilde
5. “Believe you can and you’re halfway there” -Theodore Roosevelt
