Teacher

No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.
- Plato
Teacher Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Teacher

1.
A schoolteacher or professor cannot educate individuals, he educates only species.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

2.
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

3.
To be good is noble, but to teach others how to be good is nobler and less trouble.
Twain, Mark

4.
Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.
Barzun, Jacques

5.
Once more I would adopt the graver style -- a teacher should be sparing of his smile.
Cowper, William

6.
The highest function of the teacher consists not so much in imparting knowledge as in stimulating the pupil in its love and pursuit.

7.
He who does not research has nothing to teach.
Proverb

8.
He who undertakes to be his own teacher has a fool for a pupil.
Proverb, German

9.
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.

10.
The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn.
Brecht, Bertolt

11.
Teaching is of more importance than urging.
Luther, Martin

12.
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

13.
Morality sticks faster when presented in brief sayings than when presented in long discourse.
Immermann

14.
The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what you just learned this morning.

15.
Never offer to teach a fish to swim.
Proverb

16.
Arrogance, pedantry, and dogmatism... the occupational diseases of those who spend their lives directing the intellects of the young.
Canby, Henry S.

17.
A gifted teacher is as rare as a gifted doctor, and makes far less money.

18.
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.

19.
We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit.
Shaffer, Robert H.

20.
Knowledge exists to be imparted.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

21.
Those who know how to think need no teachers.
Gandhi, Mahatma

22.
I am not a teacher, but an awakener.
Frost, Robert

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion.
Terence

26.
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

27.
Woe to him who teaches men faster than they can learn.
Durant, William J.

28.
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

29.
We will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

30.
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

31.
A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.
Carruthers, Thomas

32.
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Gibran, Kahlil

33.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
Socrates

34.
My object will be, if possible, to form Christian men, for Christian boys I can scarcely hope to make.
Arnold, Thomas

35.
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

36.
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

37.
In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.
Dalai Lama

38.
To teach is to learn twice.
Joubert, Joseph

39.
When teaching, light a fire, don't fill a bucket.
Snow, Dan

40.
Those who go to college and never get out are called professors.
Givot, George

41.
A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on a cold iron.
Mann, Horace

42.
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

43.
Good teaching must be slow enough so that it is not confusing, and fast enough so that it is not boring.
Harris, Sidney J.

44.
The schoolmaster is abroad! And I trust to him armed with his primer against the soldier in full military array.
Bentham, Jeremy

45.
In teaching others we teach ourselves.
Proverb

46.
The teacher is one who makes two ideas grow where only one grew before.
Hubbard, Elbert

47.
A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself.
Bagehot, Walter

48.
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

49.
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

50.
The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
Doren, Mark Van
