INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES
One who teaches his friend's child Torah, is considered as if he gave birth to him.
-Rashi
Maximum dissemination of knowledge of Torah is viewed as our supreme task and our most sacred concern...Every Jew is to be rendered capable of consulting...the Law by himself to find guidance for his daily life.
-Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, commentary on Pirkei Avot
It is important for educators to perform their tasks joyously and with gladness of heart, and especially when they realize that greater than the benefit bestowed by the educator upon the child, is the benefit that the child returns to his educators. This is because children provide educators with the opportunities to involve themselves in the area of education, which returns fruits that in turn bear fruits, in an ongoing process that continues from generation to generation.
-The Lubavitcher Rebbe, "Ha-Mechanech"
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
-William Butler Yeats
The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.
-Robert Maynard Hutchins
It has always seemed strange to me that in our endless discussions about education, so little stress is laid on the pleasure of becoming an educated person, the enormous interest it adds to life. To be able to be caught up into the world of thought--that is to be educated.
-Edith Hamilton
If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.
-Chinese Proverb
Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.
-Margaret Mead
Our future walks through the doors of our schools each day.
-Mary Jean Le Tendre
A teacher affects eternity; there is no telling where his influence stops.
-Henry Brooks Adams
Teachers are, more than any other, guardians of civilization.
-Bertrand Russell
I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework.
-Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann"
