Plus, teaching brings home to you very fast that you actually know nothing. I didn't realize that before.

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
The teaching thing, the one where I have to impart my knowledge, is probably what comes the least naturally to me because I'm an absorber of things.
At my age, you are naturally inclined towards teaching.
Teaching is really very, very important. I always tell my students that you should find an opportunity to teach. When you teach others, you teach yourself.
Dad taught me everything I know. Unfortunately, he didn't teach me everything he knows.
The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.
I feel that I learned far more from my students than I could possibly have taught them.
As a teacher I realize that what one learns in school doesn't serve for very much at all, that the only thing one can really learn is self-understanding, and this is something that can't be taught.
Teaching is a distraction and a burden, but it's also an incredible stimulus. And a reprieve, in a way. When you're trying to work on something and it's not going anywhere, you can go to school and there's a two-and-a-half-hour block of time in which you can accomplish something.
I knew I had to find my own way of teaching.
