Teaching like any truly human activity emerges from one's inwardness.

We think it's about little techniques and tricks, but techniques only take you so far. We need teachers who care about kids, who care about what they teach, and who can communicate with kids.

Whoever our students may be, whatever the subject we teach, ultimately we teach who we are.

I think the pursuit of happiness is the pursuit of reality because illusion never leaves us ultimately happy.

We are here not only to transform the world but also to be transformed.

The kind of teaching that transforms people does not happen if the student’s inward teacher is ignored… we can speak to the teacher within our students only when we are on speaking terms with the teacher within ourselves.

By choosing integrity, I become more whole, but wholeness does not mean perfection. It means becoming more real by acknowledging the whole of who I am.
