Education in the Eyes of Others

The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.
                          Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think—rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.
                        John Dewey

Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.
                      John Cotton Dana

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it. 
                           Margaret Fuller


Education is not the filling of a pail; it's the lighting of a fire.
                          Willliam Butler Yeast

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 D. Quinn


A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove . . . . but the world maybe different because I was important in the life of a child.
                  Kathy Davis

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth." 



                 Dan Rather  
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
               James A. Garfield
 
Education is what remains when we have forgotten all that we have been taught.
             George Savile, Marquis of Halifax
