A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
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 object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.
Warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength of the nation.

Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers.
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
