If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom
had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing
trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them
all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some
conception of the classroom teacher's job. ~Donald D. Quinn

Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust
the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they
entrust the care of their plumbing. ~John F. Kennedy

Carruthers

Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater. ~Gail

learn is hammering on cold iron. ~Horace Mann

Most teachers have little control over school policy or curriculum or choice of
texts or special placement of students, but most have a great deal of autonomy
inside the classroom. To a degree shared by only a few other occupations, such as
police work, public education rests precariously on the skill and virtue of the
people at the bottom of the institutional pyramid. ~Tracy Kidder
A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. ~Henry
Brooks Adams

A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others.

Berman

We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the

demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. ~William Arthur Ward

The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his
listener with the wish to teach himself. ~Edward Bulwer-Lytton

A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop
students who can create their own image. ~Author Unknown

What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches. ~Karl Menninger

Teaching should be full of ideas instead of stuffed with facts. ~Author Unknown

A cross-eyed teacher can keep twice the number of children in order than any
other, because the pupils do not know who she's looking at. ~Four Hundred
Laughs: Or, Fun Without Vulgarity, compiled and edited by John R. Kemble,
1902

Teaching is leaving a vestige of one self in the development of another. And

surely the student is a bank where you can deposit your most precious treasures.
~Eugene P. Bertin

and those who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to
gather flowers. ~Author Unknown

Teachers who inspire realize there will always be rocks in the road ahead of us.
They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how we use
them. ~Author Unknown

Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition. ~Jacques
Barzun

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to
those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw
material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of
the child. ~Carl Jung

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom
but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind. ~Kahlil Gibran

The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to

unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making
winners out of ordinary people. ~K. Patricia Cross

When you teach your son, you teach your son's son. ~The Talmud

The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book. ~Author Unknown

The average teacher explains complexity; the gifted teacher reveals simplicity.

used to, until she got an unlisted number. ~Author Unknown

To teach is to learn twice. ~Joseph Joubert, Pensées, 1842

The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what you just
learned this morning. ~Author Unknown

Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor
student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as
teachers, too, have failed. ~Marva Collins

The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher.
~Elbert Hubbard

Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet
developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and
performance. In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know
how to teach. ~Peter Drucker

Teachers are expected to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The
miracle is that at times they accomplish this impossible task. ~Haim G. Ginott

The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery. ~Mark Van Doren
