140 words

معلم نمی تواند کامل بکند. معلم نمی تواند شمع عالم انسانی بکند. البته طفلی که تربیت نشده باشد ولو بتواند بخواند بهتر از نفسی است

Translation:

Provisional translation

The teacher cannot perfect. The teacher cannot make one the candle of the human world. Verily, an untutored child who can yet read is better than a soul [3.5s]
