Ask yourself: 'Do I feel the need to laminate?' Then teaching is for you.

The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.

The teacher is like the candle, which lights others in consuming itself

The best teachers have shown me that things have to be done bit by bit. Nothing that means anything happens quickly – we only think it does.

What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?

A teacher who loves learning earns the right and the ability to help others learn.
