Unlocking Wisdom: The Power and Influence of Teacher Quotes

"They inspire you, they entertain you, and you end up learning a ton even when you don't know it"

"Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition. - Jacques Barzun A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine... each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting.

Martial art should not be passed out indiscriminately. - Bruce Lee You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion. You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. You are these things. And in moments of your life you have known yourself to be these things. Choose now to know yourself as these things always. - Neale Donald Walsch Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers. - Josef Albers In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day's work. It is invisible and remains so, maybe for twenty years. - Jacques Barzun Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important. - Bill Gates When a teacher calls a boy by his entire name, it means trouble. - Mark Twain Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. - Albert Einstein Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace. - Confucius"

"The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'"

"When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece. - John Ruskin The great teachers fill you up with hope and shower you with a thousand reasons to embrace all aspects of life. - Pat Conroy A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good action, for one single good poem, accomplishes more than he who fills our memory with rows and rows of natural objects, classified with name and form. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein Correction does much, but encouragement does more. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men. - Roald Dahl I'm not a teacher, but an awakener. - Robert Frost Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. - William Butler Yeats Just as members of American teachers unions often send their own children to private schools, so unionized workers at government-run hospitals in Britain have insurance that allows them to go to private hospitals.
