-The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book.
- A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.
- A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.
- A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others.
-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.
- A good teacher is a master of simplification and an enemy of simplism.
- Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more.
- The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
- The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.
-A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.
-What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches.
- Teaching should be full of ideas instead of stuffed with facts.
-Teachers who inspire know that teaching is like cultivating a garden, and those who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers.
-Teachers who inspire realize there will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how we use them.
-The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
- The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior.
