Quote★★★★
If I were asked what single qualification was necessary for one who has the care of children, I should say patience patience with their tempers, with their understandings, with their progress. It is not brilliant parts or great acquirements which are necessary for teachers, but patience to go over first principles again and again; steadily to add a little every day; never to be irritated by wilful or accidental hinderance.
The point
Patience, not brilliance, is the essential quality needed to teach and raise children well.
