There’s something you learn from helping other people with their dreams that prepares you for your own.

If you think down, you will go down. If you think up, you will go up. You’ll always travel in the direction of your thinking.

Never do anything for a student that he he is capable of doing for himself. If you do you, you'll make him an educational cripple...a pedagogical paraplegic.

Whose world is this? The world is yours.

Never asking a direct question, even though the other person can guess what it is you want to know.
