The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Few have been taught to any purpose who have not been their own teachers.
It is easier for a tutor to command than to teach.
Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the 'naturals', the ones who somehow know how to teach.
A good teacher must be able to put himself in the place of those who find learning hard.
I think that the only way to teach is by example, as children will more easily follow what they see you do than what you tell them to do.
Teachers are by nature idealists, and they believe anything can be learned.
I see it as a responsibility of mine to teach others.
We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.
The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.
A teacher should have maximal authority, and minimal power.
