Friday Philosophy: from Whatcom Middle School

A great old school building burned last week in my town. It happened while renovations were taking place.
Today’s Friday Philosophy was a quote that was etched into the granite above the front doors and I’d often see it going through town–as did every student who’s walked through those doors since 1903. I’ve always loved this quote. I hope they save the stone it’s etched into–no matter what happens to this grand old building.
Since the school’s fate is now unknown, this saying has shown up everywhere around town in tribute to all who love this school and as a reminder of its final and best lesson. Enjoy the quote. It’s a good one
