"If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job." ~ Donald Quinn

“A good teacher is like a candle: it consumes itself to light the way for others.” ~ Anonymous

"‎Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one." ~Malcolm S. Forbes

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. " ~ Henry Adams

"The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people. " ~K. Patricia Cross

"The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." -Mark van Doren
