Famous quotes containing the word teacher:
“To be faced with what so-and-so’s mother lets him do, or what the teacher said in class today or what all the kids are wearing is to be required to reexamine some part of our belief structure. Each time we rethink our values we reaffirm them or begin to change them. Seen in this way, parenthood affords us an exceptional opportunity for growth.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
“Once more I would adopt the graver style—
A teacher should be sparing of his smile.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“The dyed-in-the-wool teacher takes everything seriously only with respect to his students—himself included.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
