  • In the California Department of Education (CDE) building, there is a lot of art built into the architecture. This includes paintings on the elevators and quotations above the elevator doors. Above one door reads a quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. It reads, "Man's mind, stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions."


    That's an amazing description of human capacity. I've said before that "People never rise to low expectations." That's my idea - that we can challenge ourselves to become bigger, stronger, better individuals. That includes being more compassionate, caring, and sincere. Greatness abounds in all of us, and it's just a matter of harnessing and utilizing that greatness as well as recognizing greatness in others, for that greatness to be honored and revered. We all deserve at least that.
