To Confound the Wise

What is a teacher? It is not someone who teaches something but some one who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.


‘But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty’ Corinthians 1:27

‘I thank thee, O father, thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes’ Mathew 11:25
