To waken interest and kindle enthusiasm is the sure way to teach easily and successfully.

A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.

A good teacher must be able to put himself in the place of those who find learning hard.

Teachers need to feel they are trusted. They must be allowed some leeway to use their imagination; otherwise, teaching loses all sense of wonder and excitement.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.

Kids' views are often just as valid as the teachers'. The best teachers are the ones that know that.

My writing of fiction comes under a very general heading of those teachers, critics, scholars who like to try their own hand once or twice in their lives.

A teacher should have a creative mind.

As a teacher you are more or less obliged to pay the same amount of attention to everything. That can wear you down.

To me, the avocation of a teacher has something elevating and exciting. While surrounded by the young, one may always be doing good.
