Teacher
It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist'.
Jesus isn't lettin' you off the hook. The Scriptures don't let you off the hook so easily... When people say, you know, 'Good teacher', 'Prophet', 'Really nice guy' ... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.
My sister and I cooked a lot together; my sister was a very healthy vegetarian. She was always a real good teacher for me about organics, recycling, composting -whenever you hear me talk about it, it's usually because of my sister's influence.
Nearly everyone I met, worked with, or read about was my teacher, one way or another.
To be successful in anything, you have to have a passion for it, and that leads to being enthusiastic and demanding. I didn't have it for history. So I wouldn't have been a good teacher in that area. But I had it for basketball. And that's what coaching is at every level: it's about teaching.
My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad.
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.
Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.
The funniest memory that I can recall about my school days has to be one incident that involved unfinished homework for numerous days. I didn't do any of my homework for days and days at a stretch, and kept stalling my teacher that I was extremely unwell and was under heavy medication.
A teacher must believe in the value and interest of his subject as a doctor believes in health.
Any good teacher knows how important it is to connect with students and understand our culture.
A good teacher who can take the zero pay and help kids develop physically, emotionally, socially, is literally an angel.
Experience is a good teacher, but she sends in terrific bills.
It's the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.
When people say, you know, 'Good teacher', 'Prophet', 'Really nice guy'... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
