The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.

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

In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.

We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.

I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount.

When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.

I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.

Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the 'naturals,' the ones who somehow know how to teach.

What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.

A teacher is a person who never says anything once.
