teaching

 Mark Twain
 * Never let your schooling interfere with your education. **

John Steinbeck
 * I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. **
