Excellence is not an act but a habit. The things you do the most are the things you will do best.

When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.

Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.

Excellence is not an act, but a habit.

When someone is taught the joy of learning, it becomes a life-long process that never stops, a process that creates a logical individual. That is the challenge and joy of teaching.
