Quote

The best teachers have showed me that things have to be done bit by bit. Nothing that means anything happens quickly--we only think it does. The motion of drawing back a bow and sending an arrow straight into a target takes only a split second, but it is a skill many years in the making. So it is with a life, anyone's life.

Strong words outlast the paper they are written upon.

Joseph Bruchac Writer

As long as we can remember them, our families will always be with us.

Joseph Bruchac Writer

I was a very avid reader when I was a child, and I also was a good listener.

Joseph Bruchac Writer

Knowledge is easy to come by. Understanding what you know takes much longer.

Joseph Bruchac Writer

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.

E. M. Forster Novelist

I emphasize teachers because they are largely left out of the debate. None of the bombastic reports that come from Washington and think tanks telling us what needs to be 'fixed' - I hate such a mechanistic word, as if our schools were automobile engines - ever asks the opinions of teachers.

Jonathan Kozol Writer

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool; you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us.

C. S. Lewis Novelist

As teenagers, Marcus had been the muscle and Jake the brains. Marcus had beat up the kids who'd made fun of skinny Jake; Jake had convinced teachers not to punish him. Since then, Marcus had grown a brain (kind of) and Jake had developed muscles. But habits die hard.

Gena Showalter Author

The great end of education is, to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others.

To know how to suggest is the art of teaching.

Henri Frederic Amiel Philosopher
