We should aim to make students learn not for school, but for life. The youth who emerge from here should be energetic, capable, skillful, and diligent.
There is no profession more noble under the sun than that of a teacher.
Use praise through words and actions, but also use warnings, reprimands, punishments, and even corporal punishment for specific individual errors. Such discipline should be educational—approached with honesty and sincere intent—so that children understand it is for their own good, much like taking bitter medicine to cure an illness.
Time should be allocated precisely, ensuring that every year, month, day, and hour has its specific purpose.
The only things that last in a person are those absorbed during childhood. It is most dangerous if one does not cultivate good life habits from the cradle.
School is a workshop for shaping human beings.
However, all discipline should be applied with caution; its only purpose should be to guide students to complete their work perfectly.
O, educators of youth! Let your sacred profession and the trust of parents become a flame within you, so that neither you nor those you influence shall cease, until the whole nation is illuminated by this torch of passion.
Severe discipline should not be used for academic or literary exercises, but only when moral integrity is at risk.
Patiently unlock the springs of knowledge within potential students.
