"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 , sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth."
~Dan Rather~

"The future of the world is in my classroom today, a future with the potential for good or bad... Several future presidents are learning from me today; so are the great writers of the next decades, and so are all the so-called ordinary people who will make the decisions in a democracy. I must never forget these same young people could be the thieves and murders of the future. Only a teacher? Thank God I have a calling to the greatest profession of all! I must be vigilant every day, lest I lose one fragile opportunity to improve tomorrow."
