William James -
If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men’s cottages princes’ palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching.

Friedrich Nietzsche -
The essence of true religious teaching is that one should serve and befriend all.
Mahatma Gandhi -

The vanity of teaching doth oft tempt a man to forget that he is a blockhead.
George Saville -
True teaching liberates the student from his teacher.
Ernest Holmes -
The same is true of Love, and the instinctive desire to please those whom we love. The teacher who succeeds in getting herself loved by the pupils will obtain results which one of a more forbidding temperament finds it impossible to secure.

Our schools offer no conception of the scientific process of discovery. They do not encourage creative thought, in fact, they stifle it through too much rigidity in teaching.

Youngsters ought to be told what is unknown about ourselves and our universe as well as what is known.

-
When I started teaching, I would get miffed if a student asked me to write him or her a recommendation for law school - I'd feel like that's not what we were doing in the course.

War is the antithesis of all our teaching. It breaks all the commandments; it makes rich men poor, and strong men weak. It makes well men sick, and by it living men are changed to dead men.
