This is from the profit by Kalil Gibran, I have found such wisdom in his words and I think she will love it if you put it inot a nice font such as papurus and put it on parchement paper and burn the edges and wrap a pretty ribbon around it like they did in the olden days to give to her and she can hang it on the wall, or do all the above and put it in a nice old looking frame...most teachers know of Gibran...here is his famous thoughts on teacher....hope it helps

And he said:
No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of our knowledge.

If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.
The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.
The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.
And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither.
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
And even as each one of you stands alone in God's knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.
