"We all like to think the world ends when we do. The truth is our acquaintances, our friends, and our loved ones all live on, and through them, so do we.

You will not long remain so to your immediate colleagues if you can answer their simple questions when they come into your office. You are not nameless to me.

Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of the naÃ¯ve ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher's ideals are.”
