Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.

Just as a person is commanded to honor and revere his father, so he is under an obligation to honor and revere his teacher, even to a greater extent than his father; for his father gave him life in this world, while his teacher instructs him in wisdom, secures for him life in the world to come.

A man should first direct himself in the way he should go. Only then should he instruct others.

You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.

Great teachers are usually a little crazy.

The teacher who knows the most about a subject isn't necessarily the one who can teach it best.

Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Don't let yesterday take up too much of today.

We loved the doctrine for the teacher's sake.

We teach more by what we are than by what we teach.
