Here we go again

"What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


"There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself. "
- Henry David Thoreau


Both Emerson and Thoreau were influential and inspirational in the Headmaster's opening address at our ceremony to celebrate the beginning of yet another academic year this morning, after which I taught two classes back to back and now I'm knackered.  When's the next vacation?
