Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river.
What one takes in by contemplation, one pours out in love.
There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
Normal is not something to aspire to; its something to get away from.
We cultivate refinement without extravagance and knowledge without effeminacy; wealth we employ more for use than for show, and place real disgrace of poverty not in owning to the fact but in declining to struggle against it.
The pain of getting things wrong and the effort required to overcome error creates an emotional experience that helps burn things into the mind.
The only point of being a teacher is to do more than impart facts; it is to shape the way students perceive the world to help a student absorb the rules of a discipline. The teachers who do that get remembered.
