Mr. Toda was very fond of the saying from The Analects of Confucius: "One should regard the young with awe."[1] He used to gaze at us with intense hope and say: "It is the job of disciples to achieve success. When a mentor is praised as great, it's because his successors, his disciples, have achieved great things. The greatness of a mentor depends upon his disciples."
[1] The Master said: "One should regard the young with awe: how do you know that the next generation will not equal the present one?" Confucius, The Analects of Confucius, translated by Simon Leys (New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1997), chap. 9, no. 23, p. 42.
