Our homeschool key verse is: All your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be your children's peace. Isaiah 54:13

I also refer to this quote quite often as I plan and schedule our schoolwork:
"No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects we destroy his standards, perphaps for life." ~C.S. Lewis in Surprised by Joy

Couple of family quotes:
"We're not stressed, we're blessed"
When entering a public place during regular school hours the kids are asked, "Who do you represent?" The right answer is "God and homeschooling"

Edmund Burke: "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"

When the checkout lady at Target asks you if school is off today say "Nope, me and Bubba learns 'em at home, works real good!" ( I got that one off of some homeschool site)

"the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment and to pay more respect to the judgment of others..."

--Benjamin Franklin on urging his fellow delegates to ratify the constitution after getting bogged down in debate.

"Tyrrany, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."

---Thomas Paine

"I have not yet begun to fight"

---John Paul Jones (context is everything to this quote. He was being thrashed by the British Navy, his ship was badly damaged, and the British commander called out to ask if he was ready to surrender. He went on to capture the British vessel and crew)

Okay so none of these are directly related to homeschooling, but they are some of my favorites. ;) All my school quotes are in boxes in storage.
