"The worst thing that can happen to..." - Quote by William James

“Where is it, this present? It has melted in our grasp, fled ere we could touch it, gone in the instant of becoming.”

“To know one thing thoroughly would be to know the universe.”

“No decision is, in itself, a decision.”

“The average schoolmaster is, and always must be, an ass.”

“Really great moral teachers never do introduce new moralities: it is quacks and cranks who do that.”

“How teach again, however, what has been taught correctly and incorrectly learned a thousand thousand times, throughout the millenniums of mankind's prudent folly? That is the hero's ultimate difficult task.”

“My sister is a teacher, so I am a strong support of teachers, but I'm not going to be bound by just a certain way of talking about these things, in order for us to move forward on behalf of our kids.”

“Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honour for me.”

“An educator never says what he himself thinks, but only that which he thinks it is good for those whom he is educating to hear.”
