The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.
Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honour for me.
One of the very important characteristics of a student is to question. Let the students ask questions.
When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.
The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.
Education sows not seeds in you, but makes your seeds grow.
I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers, to become comfortable with a book, not daunted. Books shouldn’t be daunting, they should be funny, exciting and wonderful; and learning to be a reader gives a terrific advantage.
The gift of knowledge is the highest gift in the world.
Education must not simply teach work-it must teach life.
Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.
While we teach, we learn.
Teach principles not formulas.
We need to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed. It’s OK to say, “I don’t know.”
There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt.
It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.
If you learn something new every day, you can teach something new every day.

Education is a lifelong journey whose destination expands as you travel.
What a child can do today with assistance, she will be able to do by herself tomorrow.
