The Tao of Teaching (literally!)

Two thought-provoking quotes from Ursula K. LeGuin's translation of the Tao Te Ching (verse 27).

"Good people teach people who aren't good, yet. The less good are the makings of the the great."

and

"Anyone who doesn't respect a teacher or cherish a student may be clever but has gone astray. There's a deep mystery here."
