"You can teach a student a lesson for a day, but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives." -Clay P. Bedford

"To learn and never be filled, is wisdom; to teach and never be weary, is love."

"A good teacher is like a candle--it consumes itself to light the way for others."

"Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth." -Helen Caldicott

 “I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.” -Dr. Haim Ginott
