Quote

Few have been taught to any purpose who have not been their own teachers.

Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching.

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

Those who care, teach. Those who love, teach. Those who can, teach.

You can learn from everyone, the president or the cleaner. You need teachers in life, but they're not always school teachers or professors. You learn from ordinary people. You learn from travel, from just walking down the street.

Everybody's a teacher if you listen.

Only one person in a million becomes enlightened without a teacher's help.

I do think we know that a teacher who knows what he or she is doing, knows their subject matter, and knows how to impart knowledge to kids is a critical piece of closing the achievement gap.
