Bad teaching is teaching which presents an endless procession of meaningless signs, words and rules, and fails to arouse the imagination.

Collect as precious pearls the words of the wise and virtuous.
Edward Thorndike, fully Edward Lee "Ted" Thorndike
Colors fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure.
Man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them.
Giving much thought to the future is vain. Only one task is worthy of the doing and that is to express the Here and Now. And to express means building, out of the infinite diversity of the Here and Now, a visage dominating it. It means shaping silence out of stones. Any other claim is but an ado of words that weave the wind.
Diversity | Future | Giving | Means | Silence | Thought | Words | Thought |
