The weekly bon mot

"The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes away from himself toward the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciple."


Amos Bronson Alcott (1799-1888) - father of Louisa May Alcott, of Little Women fame
