I've always loved that quote. In fact, I love it so much, it is on the introduction page of my Masters thesis. :)

Its nothing too exciting (to most people but me). The title is 'Improving Return to Work Outcomes for Labour Hire Workers in South Australia'. My quals are in OHS, and as I currently work for a labour hire organisation it seemed pertinent. :)

I've never seen that one before, but I certainly wish that a great many of my teachers a long time ago had seen it and operated on what it implies; mainly they seemed to think they were there to pound facts into our resistant little heads ;\( and woe be unto anyone whose head was too resistant.
