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

Henry Adams

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

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.

Dr. Seuss

None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots.

Thurgood Marshall

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

I touch the future. I teach.

Christa McAuliffe

Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students.

Solomon Ortiz

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

Horace Mann

The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.

Mark Van Doren

The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.

Anatole France

To this end the greatest asset of a school is the personality of the teacher.

John Strachan

The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.

C. S. Lewis
