Every once in a while, you come across words that need no clarification, can’t be improved upon, and are just perfect in their power, simplicity, and truth. These words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe are a great example. I would love to write paragraphs elaborating on them or expound on how perfect they are for us as teachers, but I won’t, because words this perfect need nothing else. Simply, we can never lose sight of the fact that – in his remarkable words – “Instruction does much, but encouragement does everything.” Everything.
