A good teacher is a determined person

The chief aim of education is to show you, after you make a livelihood, how to enjoy living; and you can live longest and best and most rewardingly by attaining and preserving the happiness of learning.

Many people have played themselves to death. Many people have eaten and drunk themselves to death. Nobody ever thought himself to death.

Wherever there are beginners and experts, old and young, there is some kind of learning going on, some kind of teaching. We are all pupils and we are all teachers.

The best school in the world will scarcely save a boy who hates the school and the purpose it serves and the society that created it.

Many of the snarly bad-tempered teachers whom we remember with hatred were really nice people soured by years of anxiety and penny-pinching.

Bad teaching wastes a great deal of effort, and spoils many lives which might have been full of energy and happiness.
