Teaching "Every truth has four corners. As a teacher, I give you one corner and it is for you to find the other three corners." Confucius (Chinese thinker-philosopher, 551-479 BC)
"Teaching is the highest form of understanding." Aristotle (Greek philosopher, 384-322 BC)
"Everywhere, we learn from those whom we love." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (German philospher, 1749-1842)
"No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge...The teacher...gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding. The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is all in space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm or the voice that echoes it. And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither.." Kahlil Gibran (Lebanese artist-poet-philosopher, 1883-1931)
"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." William Arthur Ward (American educator, 1921-1994)
