“Other than my parents, no one had a bigger influence on my life than Coach Smith. He was more than a coach – he was my mentor, my teacher, my second father. Coach was always there for me whenever I needed him and I loved him for it. In teaching me the game of basketball, he taught me about life. My heart goes out to Linnea and their kids. We've lost a great man who had an incredible impact on his players, his staff and the entire UNC family.” MenHeartKidsFatherGamesLostParentTeacherPlayerInfluenceTeachingTaughtNeededMy HeartBasketballBiggerImpactIncrediblesCoachesGreat MenMentorStaffAlways There For MeUnc Author:Michael Jordan
“The higher education so much needed today is not given in the school, is not to be bought in the market place, but it has to be wrought out in each one of us for himself; it is the silent influence of character on character.” CharacterTodaySchoolGivenInfluenceTeachingNeededHigherSilentHigher Education Book:Aequanimitas Source: Aequanimitas
“I often ask myself, 'Who would Jesus vote for?' Then I start to think that he wouldn't vote at all; however, it would not be out of apathy or disinterest, but out of perfection and light. As a miracle worker, I think he would, by the power of God's teachings, the perseverance and the truth, influence in a modern sense whoever is put into office how to best serve his fellow men. One, like his skeptics, may find that impractical. But there is a message in that no man in power can slow the momentum of the will of God, and the miracles of his teachings will be forever victorious.” ThinkingMenMayLightAsksJesusForeverInfluenceTeachingModernOfficeMessagesPerfectionVoteMiracleFellowsWorkersPerseveranceGods WillApathyFellow ManMomentumSkepticPower Of GodDisinterestMiracle Worker Author:Criss Jami

“A teacher who can show good, or indeed astounding results while he is teaching, is still not on that account a good teacher, for it may be that, while his pupils are under his immediate influence, he raises them to a level which is not natural to them, without developing their own capacities for work at this level, so that they immediately decline again once the teacher leaves the schoolroom.” MayStillsShowsNaturalLevelsResultsTeacherInfluenceTeachingCapacityAccountsRaisesDevelopingDeclinePupilsGood Teacher Author:Ludwig Wittgenstein

“Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. My three [great teachers] did not tell - they catalyzed a burning desire to know.
