Teacher Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Teacher

1.
It is easier for a tutor to command than to teach.
Locke, John

2.
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

3.
When teaching, light a fire, don't fill a bucket.
Snow, Dan

4.
The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what you just learned this morning.

5.
Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.
Barzun, Jacques

6.
A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.
Carruthers, Thomas

7.
The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
Doren, Mark Van

8.
Arrogance, pedantry, and dogmatism... the occupational diseases of those who spend their lives directing the intellects of the young.
Canby, Henry S.

9.
If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.
Confucius

10.
Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.
Lubbock, Sir John

11.
In teaching others we teach ourselves.
Proverb

12.
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.

13.
Knowledge exists to be imparted.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
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.

15.
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

16.
A gifted teacher is as rare as a gifted doctor, and makes far less money.

17.
Morality sticks faster when presented in brief sayings than when presented in long discourse.
Immermann

18.
The highest function of the teacher consists not so much in imparting knowledge as in stimulating the pupil in its love and pursuit.

19.
Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.
Wilcox, Colleen

20.
Once more I would adopt the graver style -- a teacher should be sparing of his smile.
Cowper, William

21.
No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.
Plato

22.
Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion.
Terence

23.
He who undertakes to be his own teacher has a fool for a pupil.
Proverb, German

24.
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

25.
A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on a cold iron.
Mann, Horace

26.
You can't teach a hunter it's wrong to kill.
Baba, Hari Dass

27.
The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.
Aristotle

28.
Teaching is of more importance than urging.
Luther, Martin

29.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
Socrates

30.
Good teaching must be slow enough so that it is not confusing, and fast enough so that it is not boring.
Harris, Sidney J.

31.
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

32.
Those who go to college and never get out are called professors.
Givot, George

33.
To teach is to learn twice.
Joubert, Joseph

34.
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

35.
Those who know how to think need no teachers.
Gandhi, Mahatma

36.
The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn.
Brecht, Bertolt

37.
Teaching isn't one-tenth as effective as training.
Mann, Horace

38.
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

39.
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
Einstein, Albert

40.
He who does not research has nothing to teach.
Proverb

41.
I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality.
Ballard, M. Russell

42.
Woe to him who teaches men faster than they can learn.
Durant, William J.

43.
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Gibran, Kahlil

44.
I am not a teacher, but an awakener.
Frost, Robert

45.
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

46.
What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.
Shaw, George Bernard

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Unless we do his teachings, we do not demonstrate faith in him.
Benson, Ezra Taft

50.
In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.
Dalai Lama
