teachers

Teaching is not a lost art but the regard for it is a lost tradition.

A teacher affects eternity he can never tell where his influence stops.

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

To teach is to learn twice.

The authority of those who profess to teach is often a positive hindrance to those who desire to learn.

A high-school teacher after all is a person deputized by the rest of us to explain to the young what sort of world they are living in and to defend if possible the part their elders are playing in it.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

It would be a great advantage to some schoolmasters if they would steal two hours a day from their pupils and give their own minds the benefit of the robbery.

The school teacher is certainly underpaid as a child minder but ludicrously overpaid as an educator.

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

The first duty of a lecturer- 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 for ever.

He who can does. He who can't teaches.

First he wrought and afterwards he taught.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

We teach what we need to learn and write what we need to know.

If the student fails to learn the teacher fails to teach.

There is no crisis to which academics will not respond with a seminar.
