About Teachers and Teaching…

To be good is noble, but to teach others how to be good is nobler—and no trouble.
~Mark Twain 

Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher.
~Japanese proverb 

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains.  The superior teacher demonstrates.  The great teacher inspires.
~William Arthur Ward 

Whoever first coined the phrase ‘you’re the wind beneath my wings’ most assuredly was reflecting on the sublime influence of a very special teacher.
~Frank Trujillo 

Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers.
~Josef Albers
 
Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links us with all humanity.
~Lady Nancy Astor

Teaching should be full of ideas instead of stuffed with facts.
~Author Unknown 

What a teacher is, is more important than what he teaches.
~Karl Menninger 

I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
~Socrates
