Hi,
Rabbi Akiva made the following comment while jailed by the Romans for the crime of teaching today; he was eventually brutally murdered by his jailers. At one point, Rabbi Akiva refused to teach his student, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, but he explained:
"My son! More than the calf wishes to drink, the cow wishes to nurse!"
(Talmud, Pesachim 112a)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
