We've been brainwashed into thinking that it takes more monies than it actually does to educate children. That's been one of the brainwash jobs.

I think what we've done is given children a lot of things that they didn't ask for instead of what they do want.

Everything works when the teacher works. It's as easy as that, and as hard.

Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide.

If you don't give anything, don't expect anything. Success is not coming to you, you must come to it.

Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.

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