"You can pay people to teach, But you can't pay them to care."
Teachers! We all have an opinion about them - good or bad - and we all owe a great deal to that special teacher that believed in us. (I'm sure that's true.) And it can't be an easy job to do - being a teacher, either! If it was, we'd all be doing it, no? So that's why I've compiled this modest list of quotations about teachers and teaching. And whether you're disappointed with the teachers in your life, or whether you think great teaching got you where you are today, you'll find a quotation to suit. I think so anyway. If not, do let me know. I welcome your comments about these inspirational quotes. Now tuck that shirt in, and off we go... Teaching Quotations - Free Inspirational QuotesInspirational teacher quotes - what they say..."The
mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires." "Teachers
open the door, but you must enter by yourself." (This inspirational teacher quote is the essence of the Self Help Collective website, I believe - how about you?) "The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think,
than what to think--rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for
ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men." "How is it that little children are so intelligent
and men so stupid? It must be education that does it." (Or it could be that fear takes a hold of us, as we get older, Alexander, and we become 'less' - less intelligent, for one thing.) "The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all
your life what you learned this afternoon." "We
can teach from our experience, but we cannot teach experience." "Teaching people skills without
giving them a vision for a better future -- a vision based on common values --
is only training." "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." "You teach
best what you most need to learn." (This is also one of those teaching quotations that sums up why I created this website!) "The
quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are
intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education." "If women are expected to do the same work as men,
we must teach them the same things." (And a good place to start with this 're-education' (of women) is in that of body image and self image, in my humble opinion.) "I'd
rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach ten thousand stars how not
to dance." "Real education should
educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links
us with all humanity." "An
understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly
enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude
to those who touched our human feeling. 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." Inspirational teacher quotes - what they still say...And no page on inspirational teacher quotes would be complete without this Pink Floyd video (Another Brick in the Wall). Hey, even Teach agrees I'm sure (don't you?). I mean, "We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control..." - oh boy, they don't write 'em like they used to, eh!
"Teaching
should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as
a hard duty" "He who dares to
teach must never cease to learn." "Education
must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a
rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way."
"I like a teacher who gives you something
to take home to think about besides homework." (Would YOU like some homework? :-) How about taking one of these self-help tests, then! ;-) ) "A
master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own
expectation." "There are three things to
remember when teaching: know your stuff; know whom you are stuffing; and then
stuff them elegantly" (More funny inspirational quotes here!) "The art of teaching is the art
of assisting discovery." "Rewards
and punishments are the lowest form of education." "He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches." (Ah, the legendary (un-) inspirational teacher quote. It was GBS who gave it 'what for' to the teachers all along - fancy that! Do you agree with this somewhat inflammatory comment? Let us know! (D Liton did not agree - and this is what she said!)) And, as an antidote to GBS here's a brand new quote from MB (Michael Barringer)... "Teaching is the greatest of all the arts, for the teacher creates many masterpieces all at the same time, education is the foundation of intellect, and intellect is the foundation of genius, and the student with the inspired mind, that will one day rise above everyone's expectations to lead their own life, and possibly our nation, and the world owe's it all to you, the teachers!" "No printed word, nor spoken plea can teach young
minds what they should be. Not all the books on all the shelves – but what
the teachers are themselves." (And if you
like this by Rudyard Kipling, you'll like that: his poem called If.) "Experience
is the worst teacher, it gives the test before the lesson." "Education is the best provision for old age."
