"How shall I talk of the sea to a frog if it has never left its pond? How shall I talk of the frost to a bird of the summer land if it has never left the place of its birth? How shall I talk of life to a sage if he is a prisoner of his doctrine?"

Chung Tsu, 4th Century B.C.

Teaching?

"If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist have forty people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of them whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job."
