IgnoranceThere is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. Ralph Waldo Emerson |
ImitationThe function of education is to help you from childhood not to imitate anybody, but be yourself all the time. Jiddu Krishnamurti |
In the endThat is the difference between good teachers and great teachers: good teachers make the best of a pupil's means; great teachers foresee a pupil's ends. |
InformationInformation cannot replace education. |
InspirationWe all need someone who inspires us to do better than we know how. |
InstructionInstruction begins when you, the teacher, learn from the learner; put yourself in his place so that you may understand what he learns and the way he understands it. |
KidsThe kids in our classroom are infinitely more significant than the subject matter we teach. |
Learn to thinkIt must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts... it is to teach them to think, if that is possible, and always to think for themselves. |
LearningEvery student can learn, just not on the same day, or the same way. |
LessonsYou can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives. |
