To teach is to touch a life forever Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. Only the Brave Should Teach Only the brave. Only the brave should teach. Only those who love the young should teach.
Teaching is a vocation.
If he has not the concern for humanity, the love of living creatures, the vision of the priest and the artist, he must not teach. In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
