Teacher Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Teacher

1.
Those who know how to think need no teachers.
Gandhi, Mahatma

2.
The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.
Aristotle

3.
I swear... to hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture.
Hippocrates

4.
No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.
Plato

5.
Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion.
Terence

6.
A gifted teacher is as rare as a gifted doctor, and makes far less money.

7.
A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.
Carruthers, Thomas

8.
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

9.
It is easier for a tutor to command than to teach.
Locke, John

10.
We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit.
Shaffer, Robert H.

11.
Arrogance, pedantry, and dogmatism... the occupational diseases of those who spend their lives directing the intellects of the young.
Canby, Henry S.

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Good teaching must be slow enough so that it is not confusing, and fast enough so that it is not boring.
Harris, Sidney J.

15.
The real difficulty, the difficulty which has baffled the sages of all times, is rather this: how can we make our teaching so potent in the motional life of man, that its influence should withstand the pressure of the elemental psychic forces in the individual?
Einstein, Albert

16.
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.

17.
He who undertakes to be his own teacher has a fool for a pupil.
Proverb, German

18.
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

19.
In teaching others we teach ourselves.
Proverb

20.
Woe to him who teaches men faster than they can learn.
Durant, William J.

21.
When teaching, light a fire, don't fill a bucket.
Snow, Dan

22.
Teaching is of more importance than urging.
Luther, Martin

23.
Why are we never quite at ease in the presence of a schoolmaster? Because we are conscious that he is not quite at his ease in ours. He is awkward, and out of place in the society of his equals. He comes like Gulliver from among his little people, and he cannot fit the stature of his understanding to yours.
Lamb, Charles

24.
Those who go to college and never get out are called professors.
Givot, George

25.
The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn.
Brecht, Bertolt

26.
My object will be, if possible, to form Christian men, for Christian boys I can scarcely hope to make.
Arnold, Thomas

27.
A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself.
Bagehot, Walter

28.
Your Master Teacher knows all you need to learn, the perfect timing for your learning it, and the ideal way of teaching it to you. You don't create a Master Teacher -- that's already been done. You discover your Master Teacher.
Mcwilliams, Peter

29.
The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
Doren, Mark Van

30.
He who dares to teach must never cease to learn.

31.
The first duty of a lecturer is to hand you after an hour's discourse a nugget of pure truth to wrap up between the pages of your notebooks and keep on the mantelpiece forever.
Woolf, Virginia

32.
To teach well, we need not say all that we know, Successful teachers are effective in spite of the psychological theories they suffer under.
Proverb

33.
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
Einstein, Albert

34.
What office is there which involves more responsibility, which requires more qualifications, and which ought, therefore, to be more honorable, than that of teaching?
Martineau, Harriet

35.
The truth is that the average schoolmaster, on all the lower levels, is and always must be essentially and next door to an idiot, for how can one imagine an intelligent man engaging in so puerile an avocation?
Mencken, H. L.

36.
Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.
Wilcox, Colleen

37.
Never offer to teach a fish to swim.
Proverb

38.
Once more I would adopt the graver style -- a teacher should be sparing of his smile.
Cowper, William

39.
The man who can make hard things easy is the educator.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

40.
There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.
Bloom, Allan

41.
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Gibran, Kahlil

42.
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.
Jung, Carl

43.
Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.
Plato

44.
In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.
Dalai Lama

45.
When you introduce a moral lesson, let it be brief.
Horace

46.
To teach successfully we must tell all we know, but only what is adaptable to the student.
La Harpe, Frederic-Cesar

47.
Most subjects at universities are taught for no other purpose than that they may be re-taught when the students become teachers.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

48.
The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what you just learned this morning.

49.
Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.
Barzun, Jacques

50.
We will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.
