Quote by Gilbert K. Chesterton

A teacher who is not dogmatic is simply a teacher who is not teaching.

A teacher who is not dogmatic is simply a teacher who is not

Summary

This quote suggests that a teacher who does not hold firm beliefs or principles about their subject matter is not truly teaching. It implies that a good teacher is one who confidently imparts knowledge and upholds certain ideas, rather than being open to different perspectives or interpretations. A dogmatic teacher may be more effective in conveying their message and guiding students, as they provide clear direction and certainty in their teachings. However, it is important to note that this perspective does not account for the benefits of critical thinking, open dialogue, and encouraging students to question and explore ideas on their own.

Nothing is as difficult as to achieve results in this world

Nothing is as difficult as to achieve results in this world if one is filled full of great tolerance and the milk of human kindness. The person who achieves must generally be a one-idea individual, concentrated entirely on that one idea, and ruthless in his aspect toward other men and other ideas.

It's tough because a lot of my friends in normal life, a lot of my friends in the entertainment business, and a lot of my friends in the wrestling business are gay. Just to say something spiteful and hurtful, I don't get it... if it was true and I was gay, I'd embrace it, and I'd tell you guys about it and I'd celebrate it.
