Motivational Quotes

Teacher

The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. In our system, she must become a passive, much more than an active, influence, and her passivity shall be composed of anxious scientific curiosity and of absolute respect for the phenomenon which she wishes to observe. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon.
- Montessori, Maria

Mcwilliams, Peter

Frost, Robert

14.

To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching. To attain it we must be able to guess what will interest; we must learn to read the childish soul as we might a piece of music. Then, by simply changing the key, we keep up the attraction and vary the song.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

21.
The man who can make hard things easy is the educator.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciple.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

To teach successfully we must tell all we know, but only what is adaptable to the student.
La Harpe, Frederic-Cesar

Housework is a breeze. Cooking is a pleasant diversion. Putting up a retaining wall is a lark. But teaching is like climbing a mountain.
Brodie, Fawn M.

27.
I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality.
Ballard, M. Russell

28.
Good teaching must be slow enough so that it is not confusing, and fast enough so that it is not boring.
Harris, Sidney J.

29.
Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion.
Terence

30.
We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit.
Shaffer, Robert H.

31.
There is no human reason why a child should not admire and emulate his teacher's ability to do sums, rather than the village bum's ability to whittle sticks and smoke cigarettes. The reason why the child does not is plain enough -- the bum has put himself on an equality with him and the teacher has not.
Dell, Floyd

32.
A schoolteacher or professor cannot educate individuals, he educates only species.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. In our system, she must become a passive, much more than an active, influence, and her passivity shall be composed of anxious scientific curiosity and of absolute respect for the phenomenon which she wishes to observe. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon.
Montessori, Maria

36.
It is easier for a tutor to command than to teach.
Locke, John

37.
Morality sticks faster when presented in brief sayings than when presented in long discourse.
Immermann

38.
Whatever you teach, be brief; what is quickly said the mind readily receives and faithfully retains, while everything superfluous runs over as from a full container. Who knows much says least.
Proverb

39.
Woe to him who teaches men faster than they can learn.
Durant, William J.
