Quotes About Teaching“No man can be a good teacher unless he has feelings of warm affection toward his pupils and a genuine desire to impart to them what he believes to be of value.” Bertrand Russell "Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself." “Successful teachers are effective in spite of the psychological theories they suffer under.” “I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.” Quotes On Teaching"I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn."Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) "Teaching provides a way to stay young at heart, to maintain a lifetime of active learning.... It is in every respect a profession of hope." "I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. " "Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more." "What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches." 
Famous Teaching Quotes"Every truth has four corners: as a teacher I give you one corner, and it is for you to find the other three."Confucius "One looks back with appreciation - not 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." "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." "It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference."

“The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily, but how many questions he inspires them to ask him which he finds it hard to answer.”
