Nobody can teach what is inside a person; it has to be discovered for oneself and a way must be found to express it.

I think the best thing you can teach a person is how to learn. And once they discover their own individual approach to that - which is inside all of us - then all of a sudden, they've opened up a door of endless resources.

I think that the only way to teach is by example, as children will more easily follow what they see you do than what you tell them to do.

We really teach ourselves. If you want to learn, you will always find someone to learn from, be they dead or alive, great or unknown. You learn from everything you see and hear around you - if you are willing to pay attention.

You can't make someone learn something - you really can't teach someone something - they have to want to learn it. And if they want to learn, they will.

If we can teach a teacher we can reach more people.

Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the 'naturals', the ones who somehow know how to teach.

As a teacher I realize that what one learns in school doesn't serve for very much at all, that the only thing one can really learn is self-understanding, and this is something that can't be taught.

I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know.
