“Carpe Diem. Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary.”

"Did most of them not wait until it was too late before making their lives into even one iota of what they were capable? In chasing the almighty deity of success, did they not squander their boyhood dreams? Most of those gentlemen are fertilizing daffodils now!”

"They're not that different than any of you, are they? Hope in their eyes, just like yours. They believe themselves destined for wonderful things, just like many of you. Well, where are those smiles now, boys? What of the hope?"

“It's because we're food for worms, lads! Because we're only going to experience a limited number of springs, sum-mers, and falls.

"Carpe Diem, Seize the day.”

"And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying.”

"Tradition is the love of school, country, and family. Our tradition at Welton is to be the best!"

"Honor is dignity and the fulfillment of duty!"

"Discipline is respect for parents, teachers, and headmaster. Discipline comes from within.”

"Excellence is the result of hard work. Excellence is the key to all success, in school and everywhere."
