My country owes me, Required of men, Play to remember

My country owes me nothing. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor.
~ Herbert Hoover

A civilization is built on what is required of men, not on that which is provided for them.
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

When kids play, they remember. They may not be aware they are learning, but they sure are aware they are having fun. When you have a good belly laugh with your siblings or parents or friends, that stays with you. And the great thing is that is comes so naturally .. .if we only let it.
~ Rebecca Krook, play facilitator for kids with disabilities
