A Quote by Henry Adams

A parent gives life, but as parent, gives no more. A murderer takes life, but his deed stops there. A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

It affects how much you have a break from just concentrating on just one other person in your life. It becomes so myopic that way, and more intense, probably.

One day or another every athlete feels like taking it easy. He stops trying to exceed his limits, and thinks he can keep winning because of his lucky star, or the bad luck of his opponents. You must overcome this negative instinct, which affects all of us, and which is the only difference between the person who wins a race, and those who lose. This is the battle you have to fight every day of your life.

Jesse Owens

Teachers affect eternity. There is no telling where their influence stops.
