This evening I jazzed up the site a bit by adding a small handful of pithy quotes to the ever-present sidebar of various pages in the archives. In my hunt for pith, I came across many more aphorisms than I could ever hope to use on Pedablogue, so I thought I'd share a few more here, along with links to a few major websites that collect famous sayings on education, pedagogy, and learning:

Good sites:
