Teacher Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Teacher

1.
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.

2.
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

3.
The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what you just learned this morning.

4.
You can't teach a hunter it's wrong to kill.
Baba, Hari Dass

5.
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

6.
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

7.
The highest function of the teacher consists not so much in imparting knowledge as in stimulating the pupil in its love and pursuit.

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Good teaching must be slow enough so that it is not confusing, and fast enough so that it is not boring.
Harris, Sidney J.

11.
The schoolmaster is abroad! And I trust to him armed with his primer against the soldier in full military array.
Bentham, Jeremy

12.
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
Einstein, Albert

13.
Those who go to college and never get out are called professors.
Givot, George

14.
Never offer to teach a fish to swim.
Proverb

15.
A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself.
Bagehot, Walter

16.
When you introduce a moral lesson, let it be brief.
Horace

17.
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

18.
Teaching is of more importance than urging.
Luther, Martin

19.
To be good is noble, but to teach others how to be good is nobler and less trouble.
Twain, Mark

20.
To teach successfully we must tell all we know, but only what is adaptable to the student.
La Harpe, Frederic-Cesar

21.
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

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

23.
Woe to him who teaches men faster than they can learn.
Durant, William J.

24.
To teach is to learn twice.
Joubert, Joseph

25.
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

26.
A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on a cold iron.
Mann, Horace

27.
Morality sticks faster when presented in brief sayings than when presented in long discourse.
Immermann

28.
A gifted teacher is as rare as a gifted doctor, and makes far less money.

29.
Teaching isn't one-tenth as effective as training.
Mann, Horace

30.
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

31.
A schoolteacher or professor cannot educate individuals, he educates only species.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

32.
He who dares to teach must never cease to learn.

33.
When teaching, light a fire, don't fill a bucket.
Snow, Dan

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

36.
The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.
Aristotle

37.
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

38.
The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn.
Brecht, Bertolt

39.
The teacher gives not of his wisdom, but rather of his faith and lovingness.
Gibran, Kahlil

40.
The teacher is one who makes two ideas grow where only one grew before.
Hubbard, Elbert

41.
What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.
Shaw, George Bernard

42.
No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.
Plato

43.
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

44.
I believe that every human soul is teaching something to someone nearly every minute here in mortality.
Ballard, M. Russell

45.
I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
Socrates

46.
Unless we do his teachings, we do not demonstrate faith in him.
Benson, Ezra Taft

47.
Knowledge exists to be imparted.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

48.
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.

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

50.
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
