"The power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous." --Gibbon
Every teacher knows how true this is...and I'm really lucky to be surrounded by these sort of "happy dispositions". I found this quote when reading, of all things, an article by the famous physicist and teacher Richard Feynman.
Thanks for sharing this quote!
