It has been said that the essence of teaching is causing another to know. It may similarly be said that the essence of training is causing another to do. Teaching gives knowledge. Training gives skill. Teaching fills the mind. Training shapes the habits. Teaching brings to the child that which he did not have before. Training enables a child to make use of that which is already his possession.

Jesus has never slept for an hour while one of His disciples watched and prayed in agony.

Value friendship for what there is in it, not for what can be gotten out of it.

If a man is unable to find the way to Jesus, he ought to be led. It is good work this bringing the blind to Him who alone can give them sight.

In all holiest and most unselfish love, friendship is the purest element of the affection. No love in any relation of life can be at its best if the element of friendship be lacking. And no love can transcend, in its possibilities of noble and ennobling exaltation, a love that is pure friendship.

He who knows how to teach a child is not competent for the oversight of a child's education unless he also knows how to train a child.

A loving trust in the Author of the Bible is the best preparation for a wise study of the Bible.
