• Global education is a unique blend of traditional
  and experiential learning that encourages
  students to think and feel. Learning is
  interactive there-fore dependent by nature.
• Global Education teaches people to value others
  and build relationships.
• Books are but waste paper unless we spend in
  action the wisdom we get from thought.
  William Butler Yeats
• I have never let my schooling interfere with my
  education.
• Mark Twain
• I've learned that people will forget what you
  said, people will forget what you did, but
  people will never forget how you made them feel.
• Maya Angelou
