Today’s resource features 43 Cross-Cultural Quotes for the Classroom (pdf). It also includes 4 simple ideas for using the quotes with students.

Here are the first 5 quotes:

- Anais Nin

2. It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.
- Eugene Ionesco

3. I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.
- Lillian Smith

4. The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.
- G.K. Chesterton

5. The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.
- Ludwig Wittgenstein
