    What office is there which involves more responsibility, which requires more qualifications, and which ought, therefore, to be more honourable, than that of teaching?
    Harriet Martineau (1802–1876)

    My children have taught me things. Things I thought I knew. The most profound wisdom they have given me is a respect for human vulnerability.
