“It is too true that I who write about the devout life am not myself devout, but most certainly I am not without the wish to become so, and it is this wish which encourages me to teach you. A notable literary man has said that a good way to learn is to study, a better to listen, and the best to teach. And Saint Augustine, says ... that giving is a claim to receive, and teaching a way to learn.’As a teacher myself for many years, I affirm that truth. There is a saying, “those who can, do; those who can’t teach.” The fact is, “those who can teach are blessed because they not only learn to do, but they also learn why and how we do what we do.” Teaching is a noble profession.
