I touch the future. I teach.
Christa McAuliffe
An old man going a lone highway,
Came, at the eveing cold and grey,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no fear for him:
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
"Old Man", said a fellow pilgrim near,
"You are wasting your time building here,
Your journey will end with the ending day,
You never again will pass this way;
You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide,
Why build this bridge at eveing tide?"
The builder lifted his old grey head;
"Good friend, in the path I have come,"
he said
"There followed after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm has been naught to me,
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building this bridge
for him!"
~W. A. Dromgoole~
What sculpture is to a block marble, education is to a human soul.
Joseph Addison
The dream begins most of the time with a teacher who believes in you,
who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, and sometimes
poking you with a sharp stick called "Truth."
Dan Rather
Those having torches will pass them on to others.
Plato, The Republic
And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.
