About Teachers

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." (Henry Adams)

"The teacher is like the candle which lights others in consuming itself." (Giovanni Ruffini)

"A teacher is a compass that activates the magnets of curiosity, knowledge, and wisdom in the pupils." (Ever Garrison)

"A teacher is never a giver of truth; he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself." (Bruce Lee)

"The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What an educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves." (Paulo Freire, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed")

"For many students, their teachers may be the only adult with whom they have a meaningful conversation all day." (Vickie Gill)

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary." (Thomas Carruthers)

"Teachers are those who help us in resolving problems which, without them, we wouldn’t have." (Anon)

"We need teachers. We need to be teachers. Knowing when for each, is wisdom." (Rick Beneteau)
