A teacher is one who makes himself progressively
unnecessary.
Thomas
Carruthers
The true teacher defends his pupils against his
own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their
eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no
disciple.
Amos Bronson
Alcott
The best teacher is the one who
suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the
wish to teach himself.
Edward
Bulwer-Lytton
Teaching is leaving a vestige of one self in the
development of another. And surely the student is a bank where you
can deposit your most precious treasures.
Eugene P.
Bertin

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
Most teachers have little control over school
policy or curriculum or choice of texts or special placement of
students, but most have a great deal of autonomy inside the
classroom. To a degree shared by only a few other occupations, such
as police work, public education rests precariously on the skill and
virtue of the people at the bottom of the institutional pyramid.
