<p> A Zealous Teacher is like the SUN shining and warming</p><p> drawing the children out of the darkness of ignorance into the light of life</p><p> bringing sunshine into their lives</p><p>When the sun rises, it rises for everyone. (Cuban proverb)</p><p> a STAR gleaming and twinkling</p><p> leading the children to the light of Christ</p><p> inspiring them to reach for the stars </p><p>Even a small star shines in the darkness. (Finnish proverb) a CANDLE burning and flickering</p><p> sharing knowledge, wisdom and love</p><p> passing on the gifts of truth, justice and peace</p><p>Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. (Chinese proverb) a LAMP glowing and shedding light</p><p> showing the way to the joys of learning</p><p> lighting up the steps along the right path</p><p>To keep a lamp burning, you have to keep putting oil in it. (Mother Teresa) a FIRE blazing and sparkling</p><p> burning brightly in the hearts of the pupils</p><p> kindling the flame within </p><p>Education is not filling the bucket but lighting the fire. (W.B. Yeats) a HEART aflame</p><p> glowing with zeal to touch the hearts of the children</p><p> beating with love for the children confided to our care</p><p>Live Jesus in our hearts. Forever! (St. John Baptist de La Salle) </p>
