Daisaku Ikeda

Lou Dorfsman
"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge."
Albert Einstein
"It is not the fruits of scientific research that elevate man and enrich his nature. but the urge to understand, the intellectual work, creative or receptive."
Albert Einstein
"Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary."
Warren G. Bennis
