“A shower of rain rejuvenates nature; similarly a Good Teacher rejuvenates learners with the beauty of knowledge. A shower of rain in the desert rejuvenates the most barren wasteland and helps hibernating flowers to bloom with an explosion of colour and eagerness; similarly a Great Teacher rejuvenates hibernating learners to bloom with an explosion of love for learning, curiosity and eagerness to explore the world without fear and inhibitions.”

“On fêtait un jour, solennellement, ses Palmes académiques : trois ans plus tard, il « prenait sa retraite », c'est-à-dire que le règlement la lui imposait. Alors, souriant de plaisir, il disait : « Je vais enfin pouvoir planter mes choux ! » Sur quoi, il se couchait, et il mourait. J'en ai connu beaucoup, de ces maîtres d'autrefois. Ils avaient une fois totale dans la beauté de leurs mission, une confiance radieuse dans l'avenir de la race humaine. Ils méprisaient l'argent et le luxe, ils refusaient un avancement pour laisser la place à un autre, ou pour continuer la tâche commencée dans un village déshérité.”

“Jonah can't see how Assyria could serve any useful purpose. How could this commission better Israel? Jonah might even fear that God will reverse His judgment against Nineveh. If that 'unchanging God' changes His mind about Nineveh's destruction, then Jonah's personal religion won't make sense. (Nu 23:19) The truth is, Jonah is not as overwhelmed by his new assignment as he is by his own small mindedness.”

“...Teachings are given to different men under different circumstances and in different times... [but] ...the Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever. If a parent commands a little child not to play with matches, and then commands a teenager to light the campfire, is this a contradiction? It's only a question of preparedness - one is ready and one is not.”

“It is when we think we can act like God, that all respect is lost, and I think this is the downfall of peace. We lie if we say we do not see color and culture and difference. We fool ourselves and cheat ourselves when we say that all of us are the same. We should not want to be the same as others and we should not want others to be the same as us. Rather, we ought to glory and shine in all of our differences, flaunting them fabulously for all to see! It is never a conformity that we need! We need not to conform! What we need is to burst out into all these beautiful colors!”
