A true teacher defends his students against his own personal influences. Amos Bronson Alcott
What I call my philosophy of teaching is in fact a philosophy of learning. It comes out of Plato, modified. Before true learning can occur, I believe, there must be in the student's heart a certain yearning for the truth, a certain fire. The true student burns to know.

Above all, she taught me not to believe anything blindly, to doubt, and to question even what seemed irrefutably true, such as man's superiority over woman, or one race or social class over another. Isabel Allende
George Farquhar quote: "Charming women can true converts make, We love the precepts..."
Charming women can true converts make, We love the precepts for the teacher's sake. George Farquhar
Our best teachers do more than impart facts and figures - they inspire and encourage students and instill a true desire to learn. That's a fine art in itself. Sonny Perdue
