20 Great Quotes on Teachers

Posted by Foradian — Sep 4, 2013

The word ‘teacher’ represents knowledge; transfer of the knowledge from the teacher to the taught. In fact, the foundation that builds a person in life is to great extent based on the knowledge he gets from his teacher. If there is somebody other than our parents who plays an important role in our mental development, it’s our teachers. Foradian pays a tribute to the positive and inspiring role that holds the ladder that we all climb as students, with some interesting quotes on teachers made by great personalities from various fields:

 

“What is a teacher? I’ll tell you: it isn’t someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.”

Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello

 

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

William Arthur Ward

 

“They inspire you, they entertain you, and you end up learning a ton even when you don’t know it”

Nicholas Sparks, Dear John

 

“When you study great teachers… you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.”

William Glasser

 

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.“

Albert Einstein

 

“Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well.“

Aristotle

 

“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.“

Carl Jung

 

“the calling of the teacher. There is no craft more privileged. To awaken in another human being powers, dreams beyond one’s own; to induce in others a love for that which one loves; to make of one’s inward present their future; that is a threefold adventure like no other.”

George Steiner, Lessons of the Masters

 

“That’s what education should be,” I said, “the art of orientation. Educators should devise the simplest and most effective methods of turning minds around. It shouldn’t be the art of implanting sight in the organ, but should proceed on the understanding that the organ already has the capacity, but is improperly aligned and isn’t facing the right way.”

Plato, the Republic

 

“The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called ‘truth’.“

Dan Rather

 

“Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system.“

Sidney Hook

 

“I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.“

John Steinbeck

 

“Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that’s not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.“

Joe Manchin

 

“Most of us end up with no more than five or six people who remember us. Teachers have thousands of people who remember them for the rest of their lives.“

Andy Rooney

 

“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.“

Brad Henry

 

“The teacher is the one who gets the most out of the lessons, and the true teacher is the learner.“

Elbert Hubbard

 

“There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can’t move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.“

Robert Frost

 

“I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.“

Temple Grandin

 

“One good teacher in a lifetime may sometimes change a delinquent into a solid citizen.“

Philip Wylie

 

A good teacher must know the rules; a good pupil, the exceptions.
