There is, above all, great need for methods that will make the teacher effective and multiply his or her efforts and competence.

“What you do thunders above your head so loudly, I cannot hear the words you speak.”

“Remember: courage, unused, diminishes. Commitment, unexercised, wanes. Love, unshared, dissipates.”

“Deciding to commit yourself to long term results rather than short term fixes is as important as any decision you'll make in your lifetime.”
