"It is the virtue of teachers to aim not at praise, nor at esteem from those under their authority, but at their salvation, and to do every thing with this object; since the man who should make the other end his aim, would not be a teacher but a tyrant. Sure it is not for this that God set thee over them, that thou shouldest enjoy greater court and service, but that thine own interests should be disregarded, and every one of their built up. This is teacher's duty."
The Complete Writings of the Early Church Fathers, Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Volume 13, Homily VIII, (Christianity, Catholic, Author: St. John Chrysostom)
