Thomas Carlyle, Essays, Schiller.
Teachers

To teach the young Idea how to shoot,
To pour the fresh Instruction o'er the Mind,
To breathe the enlivening Spirit, and to fix
The generous
urpose in the glowing breast.
James Thomson, The Seasons, Spring (1728), line 1,150.
Teachers
The function of the teacher, as we have just defined it, is naturally directed toward a twofold object, interior and exterior, depending upon whether it is applied to the truth the teacher meditates upon and contemplates within himself or to the listeners whom he is teaching.
