1. A teacher affects eternity:
he can never tell where his influence stops.

2. What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation.

3. The important thing is not so much
that every child should be taught,
as that every child should be given the wish to learn.

4. Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life,
those the art of living well.

5. What office is there which involves more responsibility, which requires more qualifications, and which ought, therefore, to be more honorable than teaching?
