      Great Quotes to Inspire Great Teachers - Noah benShea

      1

      THE ART OF TEACHING

      Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.

      —Jacques Barzun

      Little warms us like the soul’s own spark of self-worth.

      —Noah benShea

      Folks don’t like to have somebody around knowin’ more than they do. It aggravates ’em. You’re not gonna change any of them by talkin’ right, they’ve got to want to learn themselves, and when they don’t want to learn there’s nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language.

      —Harper Lee

      Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent, and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself.

      —John Jay Chapman

      When will the public cease to insult the teacher’s calling with empty flattery? When will men who would never for a moment encourage their own sons to enter the work of the public schools cease to tell us that education is the greatest and noblest of all human callings?

      —William C. Bagley

      First you destroy those who create values. Then you destroy those who know what the values are, and who also know that those destroyed before were in fact the creators of values. But real barbarism begins when no one can any longer judge or know that what he does is barbaric.

      —Ryszard Kapuscinski

      The cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

      —Oscar Wilde

      A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

      —Henry B. Adams

      Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

      —Albert Einstein

      What office is there which involves more responsibility, which requires more qualifications, and which ought, therefore, to be more honourable, than that of teaching?

      —Harriet Martineau

      Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

      —M. Scott Peck

      Housework is a breeze. Cooking is a pleasant diversion. Putting up a retaining wall is a lark. But teaching is like climbing a mountain.

      —Fawn M. Brodie

      One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers . . . with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling . . .

      —Carl Gustav Jung

      Knowing how things work is the basis for appreciation, and is thus a source of civilized delight.

      —William Safire

      America today is capable of terrific intolerance about smoking, or toxic waste that threatens trout. But only a deeply confused society is more concerned about protecting lungs than minds.

      —Gary Wills

      There has never been another you. With no effort on your part you were born to be something very special and set apart. What you are going to do in appreciation of that gift is a decision only you can make.

      —Dan Zadra

      The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness, and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.

      —Aristotle

      It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

      —Albert Einstein

      Nothing is intrinsically valuable; the value of everything is attributed to it, assigned to it from outside the thing itself, by people.

      —John Barth

      I swear . . . to hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture.

      —Hippocrates

      You will be of as much value to others as you have been to yourself.

      —Marcus Tullius Cicero

      When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier.

      —Roy Disney

      2

      ADVERSITY

      Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.

      —Billy Graham

      We are all at risk at any moment to be less than we might be. Knowing this is the brother- and sisterhood of vulnerability.

      —Noah benShea

      Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment.

      —Barbara Jordan

      Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.

      —Langston Hughes

      Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together.

      —Eugene Ionesco

      Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have
