Treat all men alike.... give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow.

We only ask an even chance to live as other men live. We ask to be recognized as men. Let me be a free man...free to travel... free to stop...free to work...free to choose my own teachers...free to follow the religion of my Fathers...free to think and talk and act for myself.

Zubin Mehta
Death is teacher enough, true faith is wealth enough, and worship is action enough.

The teacher offers guidance here and there, but the primary factor, the driving force, in your relationship and work together is the student's own commitment and desire to learn.
