Kaos, what's your problem with someone still recalling the lessons that he taught and the things he stressed were important back then? From the sound of it it's because he's dead. If that's the case, and I think it is, I question whether or not you're going to stop using math because your 2nd grade teacher has passed on. Or maybe when faced with something my father stressed for me to be cautious of will be thrown to the wind simply because he hasn't be alive for years.
Other than him being dead, what's wrong with people recalling the things they learned from him while he was alive? You're a soothsayer of sorts, been given the gift of gab. I'm certain you'll come up with something regardless of whether or not I hit this nail on the head.
I just have a problem with the nonstop deification. You people won't let the man die.
He was an ordinary man. A scoundrel, actually. He was not little baby Jesus speaking to the masses in parables.
"Work hard and you'll be a winner" is hardly Shakespearean. It's a damn cliche. But your people engrave it on the side of cans of Schlitz Malt Liquor and chant it like it's some kind of divine mantra. It's idolization.
The guy's been gone 30 years. Let him be gone.
