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.

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.

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

Education is the thing. This black-white bit - I don't deal with people that way. I deal with it as if you are another individual. If you do something that perturbs me or aggravates me, I do not think you've done it because I'm black.

The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior.

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

Readers are leaders. Thinkers succeed.
