Amenities of the Frontrunner
I never teach my pupils; I only
attempt to provide the conditions
in which they can learn.
Albert Einstein
You cannot teach
a man anything.
You can only help him
discover it within himself.
Galileo Galilei
Wherefore, he that
preacheth
and he receiveth,
understand one
another,
and both are edified
and rejoice together
