Assembling all these quotes leads me to believe in the wisdom of those before me, considering their experiences, thoughts and perspectives worth regarding.  Asking questions about what they thought important, why they thought it important and how it applied to their situation prods me to continue in my own quest of understanding.  What follows are the quotes in italics, the author in bold and my remarks, for what they are worth.

The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.  W.  Saroyan
It's like joy and happiness are closely related, but not the same!  Happiness seems based on external situations or circumstances.  The pursuit of happiness drives our foundational documents, as well as our economy, yet inner joy, peace or contentment have another source.  Not based on our plight but stemming from some inner drive, motive or security, the greatest happiness is recognizing happiness is optional.
Even when the experts all agree, they well may be mistaken.  B. Russell
Experts are experts, but data should drive, inform and influence the experts.  Without the data, the experts are just telling stories.

An expert is a man who has stopped thinking he knows. F. R. Wright
Maturity, experience and mistake after mistake reveal to us there is always more to learn, complete and conquer.  The life-long learner gravitates to the status of expert due to their quest for understanding.  To consider knowledge and wisdom as complete or sufficiently amassed implies
I do not believe in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.  T. Carlyle
So what do we “believe in?” Majority may not know the best.  Wisdom and understanding may have an alternate perspective.

Remember “Animal Farm” by George Orwell to get a matching point of view.

Yes, these quotes are concise.  My words add little.  Yet the focus, concentration and deliberation to expound on each quote add insights and hopefully wisdom.  Only time will prove it effective!

Answer:  In The Hunger Games, the President Snow, played by the esteemed Donald Sutherland, asked the game-maker Seneca Crane played by Wes Bentley "Why do we have a winner?"  As the ruthless president of the post-modern world, he frequently ponders motivation of the masses.  In reply, Crane stumbled through a response but Sutherland answered his own question. He posed a "little bit of hope is effective but a lot of hope is dangerous," then reiterates that a "spark is fine, as long as it is contained!"  What pressure do we apply when we motivate our students, in fear, or in hope.  Which is more effective?  Which reaches the hearts of our students?  Which is more lasting?  Fear drives today but hope inspires for tomorrow!
