When I was in high school at Northeast Catholic in Philadelphia in the late '30s, I found that drawing caricatures of the teachers and satirizing the events in the school, then having them published in our school magazine, got me some notoriety.

That is the difference between good teachers and great teachers: good teachers make the best of a pupil's means; great teachers foresee a pupil's ends.

In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.

If you have to put someone on a pedestal, put teachers. They are society's heroes.

Your job is not just to do what your parents say, what your teachers say, what society says, but to figure out what your heart calling is and to be led by that.

The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn.

I ain't here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way yall need Jesus.

Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students.

I mean, look, teachers don't do their job for the money, obviously, because we pay them ridiculously little amounts for what they put in. Most of them come out of their own pocket for materials and things to help the children and all that.

I was the seventh in the family. By the time I came along, one brother and two sisters had already become teachers, and this was the sort of path carved out for the rest of the family.

You have to look for teachers. If you want to be a mechanic, go hang out with mechanics.

Our teachers made such a difference - all my teachers and professors were very supportive and nurturing.

My teacher told me I'd never amount to anything. I left high school at 15, after one year. But my real teachers were all the people around me. And I was a good listener.

Great teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.

Education must begin with the solution of the student-teacher contradiction, by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students.

Every man who rises above the common level has received two educations: the first from his teachers; the second, more personal and important, from himself.

True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.

It's okay to make mistakes. Mistakes are our teachers - they help us to learn.

There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
