A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops – Henry Brooks Adams
Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth- Helen Caldicott
The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth – Dan Rather
Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and care. – Horace Mann
Compassionate teachers fill a void left by working parents who aren’t able to devote enough attention to their children. Teachers don’t just teach; they can be vital personalities who help young people to mature, to understand the world and to understand themselves. A good education consists much more than useful facts and marketable skills. – Charles Platt
The future of the world is in their classroom today, a future with the potential for good or bad… Several future presidents are learning from them today; so are the great writers of the next decades, and these young people could be the murderers and thieves of the future. Only a teacher? Thank God I have a calling to the greatest profession of all I must be vigilant every day, lest I lose one fragile opportunity to improve tomorrow. – Ivan Welton Fitzwater
There’s no word in the language I revere more than “teacher”. My heart sings when a kid refers to me as his teacher, and it always has. I’ve honored myself and the entire family of man by becoming a teacher. – Pat Conroy, Prince of Tides
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. – William Arthur Ward
Are you a teacher? Are you making the most of your potentials? No? Then it’s time to out and lead and make the most of your potentials today.
Breathtaking words, Whitney and so apt for teachers who deserve such greatness and such epitomes of wisdom. Thanks for the share.
