“The teacher is the one who gets the most out of the lessons, and the true teacher is the learner.”

“It is not the teacher's proper task to be constantly testingand checking the understanding of the learner. That's the learner's task, andonly the learner can do it. The teacher's job is to answer questions whenlearners ask them, or to try to help learners understand better when they askfor that help.”

“Both teachers and learners go to sleep at their post as soon as there is no enemy in the field.”

“Teachers knew every one of the students, their secrets, their grades, their home situations. And all the students knew the teachers. It was like teachers were people who finally were the most popular at school.”

“Failure gives the bald hairs; equips the novice with experience. The learner, sooner or later, becomes a teacher by it.”

“Christ is the Lesson as well as the Teacher.”
