Pedagogical Veracity

Socrates to Plato
Emerson to Thoreau

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear
Invaluable lessons will be on display for him to feel, see, and hear

Ali to Larry
Jordan to Kobe

If the student is willing, he will do the valiant work...
He would rather not be the teacher; instead, he aims to show his worth

Picasso to Warhol
James to Michael____


Teacher to student
From shadow to lucent

Teacher to student
From unwise to prudent

A smart man studies and learns from the best
He knows and respects the work and readies himself for his test
