"Then said a teacher, 'Speak to us of teaching.' And he said, 'No man can reaveal to you other than that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and lovingness. If he is indeed wise, he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.'" ~ Kahlil Gibran
