Inspiring quotes
"...it is even unseemly for him [the professor] to go to the lecture to recite, for an hour, what can easily be found in books of easy access [....]. As long as it subsists, there will be no just reason to require the students to attend class, since at home they can more easily acquire the knowledge given to them at school."
Unamuno, 1904. La Enseñanza Universitaria
Tell me, and I forget.
Show me, and I may remember.
Involve me, and I understand
Xun Kuang
Confucian philosopher (314 - 235 B.C.)
Docendo discimus [By teaching, we learn]
Seneca the Younger
Stoic philosopher (4 B.C -65 A.D.)
