“Excellence is not an act but a habit. The things you do the most are the things you will do the best.”

This is the Buford Arms, somewhere in London. The reference was
provided by artbyjune at WetCanvas. June said that she walks by it on
her dog walking route every day, but has never been inside. It’s
undergoing a renovation now. Wouldn’t you love to see the inside? I
would!
About Marva Collins
“American educator Marva Collins pioneered progressive education for
disadvantaged children. She was born in Alabama in 1936 and in her 20′s
moved to Chicago, where she founded a school for children who were at
risk. After one year, every child tested at least five grades higher.
Many public schools have successfully implemented her methods. She has
appeared on 60 Minutes and Good Morning America and
she recieved the National Humanities Medal from President Bush in 2004.
She believes every child is a winner until someone convinces him or her
too thoroughly otherwise.”
