Famous quotes containing the word teaching:
“Give me the splendid silent sun
with all his beams full-dazzling,
Give me juicy autumnal fruit ripe and red from the orchard,
Give me a field where the unmow’d grass grows,
Give me an arbor, give me the trellis’d grape,
Give me fresh corn and wheat, give me serene-moving animals teaching content,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The most important part of teaching = to teach what it is to know.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Raising human beings is a process of teaching children right from wrong and turning them into responsible individuals.”
