You perceive now, my friends, what your general or abstract duty is as teachers. Although you have to generate in your pupils a large stock of ideas, any one of which may be inhibitory, yet you must also see to it that no habitual hesitancy or paralysis of the will ensues, and that the pupil still retains his power of vigorous action. ✨ William James (1983). Talks to Teachers on Psychology and to Students on Some of Life's Ideals, p.108, Harvard University Press
