Teaching was the hardest work I had ever done, and it remains the hardest work I have done to date.

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.

No one ever said learning was to be easy, but it's part of the process of evolving as a human being, and we all have to go through it. When I look back, I see that each difficult time brought an important lesson. And I prefer to look at it with gratitude because I wouldn't be who I am today if I haven't gone through it all.

One of the most important things that teachers teach students is you, you can work harder. You are mentally tougher than you think.

I learned early on in teaching how easy it is to hurt a young person and that's never my intention.

It is easier to exemplify values than teach them.

Of all the hard jobs around, one of the hardest is being a good teacher.

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.

I would argue that education, actual learning - it is hard work. It's very personal. Your parents don't teach you anything. Your teachers don't teach you anything. The government doesn't teach you anything. You read it. You don't understand it; you read it again. You break a pencil and read it again.
