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

“An educated memory depends on an organized system of associations; and its goodness depends on two of their peculiarities: first, on the persistency of the associations; and, second, on their number.”

“Strength is a facade for the proud, weakness is a mask for the lazy.”

“Hogamus, higamous Man is polygamous Higamus, hogamous Woman monogamous.”

“The greatest teacher has nothing to say. He simply gives himself in service, and never worries.”

“Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.”

“Love is a better teacher than duty.”

“My entire stay there [high school] might have been time lost if it hadn't been for the unique personality of a brilliant teacher. Miss Kirwin was that rare educator who was in love with information. I will always believe that her love of teaching came not so much from her liking for students but from her desire to make sure that some of the things she knew would find repositories so that they could be shared again.”

“The teachers of this country, one may say, have its future in their hands.”

“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.”
