Dedication 02

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

If he (the teacher) is wise he does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom, but leads you to the threshold of your mind.

The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.

And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measures, but he cannot conduct you hither.

For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.

Gibran, The Prophet

The reward to the educator lies in his pride in his students' accomplishments. The richness of that reward is the satisfaction in knowing the frontiers of knowledge have been extended.

D.F. Othmer
