Teacher Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Teacher

1.
The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.
Aristotle

2.
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

3.
To teach successfully we must tell all we know, but only what is adaptable to the student.
La Harpe, Frederic-Cesar

4.
To teach is to learn twice.
Joubert, Joseph

5.
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

6.
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

7.
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

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

9.
In teaching others we teach ourselves.
Proverb

10.
He who dares to teach must never cease to learn.

11.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
Socrates

12.
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

13.
The teacher is one who makes two ideas grow where only one grew before.
Hubbard, Elbert

14.
Lessons of wisdom have the most power over us when they capture the heart through the groundwork of a story, which engages the passions.
Sterne, Laurence

15.
Unless we do his teachings, we do not demonstrate faith in him.
Benson, Ezra Taft

16.
The highest function of the teacher consists not so much in imparting knowledge as in stimulating the pupil in its love and pursuit.

17.
It is easier for a tutor to command than to teach.
Locke, John

18.
In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.
Dalai Lama

19.
Teaching isn't one-tenth as effective as training.
Mann, Horace

20.
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

21.
You can't teach a hunter it's wrong to kill.
Baba, Hari Dass

22.
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

23.
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

24.
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

25.
He who does not research has nothing to teach.
Proverb

26.
Once more I would adopt the graver style -- a teacher should be sparing of his smile.
Cowper, William

27.
Those who know how to think need no teachers.
Gandhi, Mahatma

28.
Life is amazing: and the teacher had better prepare himself to be a medium for that amazement.
Blishen, Edward

29.
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

30.
A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.
Carruthers, Thomas

31.
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.

32.
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
Einstein, Albert

33.
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

34.
Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion.
Terence

35.
Those who go to college and never get out are called professors.
Givot, George

36.
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.

37.
The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what you just learned this morning.

38.
Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.
Wilcox, Colleen

39.
Good teaching must be slow enough so that it is not confusing, and fast enough so that it is not boring.
Harris, Sidney J.

40.
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

41.
No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.
Plato

42.
A schoolteacher or professor cannot educate individuals, he educates only species.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

43.
Never offer to teach a fish to swim.
Proverb

44.
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

45.
Knowledge exists to be imparted.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

46.
I am not a teacher, but an awakener.
Frost, Robert

47.
The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
Doren, Mark Van

48.
I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality.
Ballard, M. Russell

49.
To be good is noble, but to teach others how to be good is nobler and less trouble.
Twain, Mark

50.
When you introduce a moral lesson, let it be brief.
Horace
