A parent gives life, but as parent, gives no more. A murderer takes life, but his deed stops there. A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

Teachers affect eternity; no one can tell where their influence stops.

Teachers affect eternity. There is no telling where their influence stops.
