In preparation for my first day of teaching, I found some teaching quotes to motivate me.

  • In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day's work.  It is invisible and remains so, maybe for twenty years.  ~Jacques Barzun
  • Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.  ~John Cotton Dana
  • The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what you just learned this morning.  ~Author Unknown
  • The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself. ~Edward Bulwer-Lytton
  • A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary. ~Thomas Carruthers
  • A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations. ~Patricia Neal
  • If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. ~Derek Bok
  • Teaching kids to count is fine, but teaching them what counts is best. ~Bob Talbert
  • Education is not filling a pail, but the lighting of a fire. ~William Butler Yeats
  • A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions
  • Good teachers are those who know how little they know. Bad teachers are those who think they know more than they don't know. ~R. Verdi
