“Sharing is the essence of teaching. It is, I have come to believe, the essence of civilization . . . Without it, the imagination is but the echo of the self, trapped in a soundproof chamber, reverberating upon itself until it is spent in exhaustion or futility.”
Bill Moyers
“I would rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.”
E. E. Cummings
“If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing.”
James Matthew Barrie
“Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to none”
Benjamin Franklin
“There is something even more valuable to civilization than wisdom, and that is character”
Henry Louis Mencken
“The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of the cities, nor the crops, but the kind of man that the country turns out.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“There can be no high civility without a deep morality”
