Education is the manifestation of perfection already in men. 

— Swami Vivekananda

Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our nation for tomorrow.  

— Solomon Ortiz 

True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own. 

—Nikos Kazantzakis
