“Moorehead is one of those sad people who go into teaching so they can be worshipped by the only people sadder than they are - students.”

“the people who can finish and finish at the same pace or stronger than when they started, those are the ones who are going to succeed; those are the ones who are going to be great.”

“People who worship only themselves get a slick, polished look -- like monuments. Too bad they had to go so soon.”

“A house without books must be sad. Even sadder a house of books without people.”

“Teachers can be a living example to their students. Not that teachers should look for students to idealize them. One who is worth idealizing does not care whether others idealize them or not. Everyone needs to see that you not only teach human values but you live them. It is unavoidable sometimes you will be idealized -- it is better for children to have a role model, or goal, because then the worshipful quality in them can dawn.”

“Only sweet people with good virtues can go to fairyland. Those who treat others meanly and without respect can never go there.”
