A good teacher is like a candle. it consumes itself to light the way for others. Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.
The true teacher defends his students against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him.
