The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.

A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.

In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.

We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.

I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount.
