My approach to teaching, in a nutshell: Reflections on Teaching at Yale-NUS College (January 2018)

Most people are eagerly groping for some medium, some way in which they can bridge the gap between their morals and their practices.
--Saul Alinsky

It isn't enough to exhort people to participate [in the work of building a Great Society]. We must build institutions that make participation possible, rewarding, and challenging.
--Robert Bellah

[Let us work for a world] where doing good is like falling off a log, where the natural, everyday acts of work and life accumulate into a better world as a matter of course, not as a matter of conscious altruism.
-- Paul Hawken

Reason, under pressure, often produces prudence when boldness is called for.
--Winston Churchill

Teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
--Mark van Doren
~ ~ ~ ~
We may be lost, but we're making great time.
--Yogi Berra
