• To teach effectively a teacher must develop a feeling for his subject; he cannot make his students sense its vitality if he does not sense it himself. He cannot share his enthusiasm when he has no enthusiasm to share. How he makes his point may be as important as the point he makes; he must personally feel it to be important.

• La razón para enseñar historia no es que cambie la sociedad, sino que cambia a los alumnos; cambia lo que ven en el mundo y cómo lo ven.... Decir que alguien ha aprendido historia es decir algo muy amplio sobre la forma en que probablemente dará sentido al mundo. La historia ofrece una manera de ver casi cualquier cuestión sustantiva de los asuntos humanos, sujeta a ciertos procedimientos y normas, independientemente de los sentimientos que uno pueda tener.

• ...I think there's only one [thing] that anybody teaches, and this is character. And I think that whether you are teaching history, math, or biology, or music, what you are really doing is, you are helping to shape the character of that person who is your student... Music is such a wonderful teaching tool, because while you are developing musical skills, that student can learn a lot about discipline [and] cooperation.
