“The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciple.”
Amos Bronson Alcott
“The good teacher discovers the natural gifts of his pupils and liberates them by the stimulating influence of the inspiration that he can impart. The true leader makes his followers twice the men they were before.”
Stephen Neill
“A man should first direct himself in the way he should go. Only then should he instruct others.”
Buddha
“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell, where his influence stops.”
Henry Brooks Adams
“To teach a man how he may learn to grow independently, and for himself, is perhaps the greatest service that one man can do another.”
Benjamin Jowett
“A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.”
James Allen
“The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence.”
