Today’s accumulation is for tomorrow’s soaring. What could be more gratifying for a teacher than seeing their students fly higher, faster, and farther?
Whether a classroom lesson is successful depends on the teacher’s ability, as a rider, to control the steed.
I believe that for teachers, the source of strength comes from love for students. Only by loving students can one love the profession, maintain lasting enthusiasm for education, and possess a spirit of dedication. —Yu Yi
Seedlings need the nourishment of soil; students need the care of teachers.
When a person becomes a teacher, their words and actions shape others. They help the sincere and wise to progress, encourage the ignorant and lazy to improve, and reform the stubborn and arrogant. Thus, their teaching is strict yet trustworthy, and their principles endure and are respected. —Ouyang Xiu
If a teacher loves their profession, they will become an excellent teacher. If a teacher loves students like a parent, they will be far better than one who, despite extensive learning, lacks both passion for teaching and care for students. A teacher who combines love for the profession and love for students is a truly perfect educator. —Leo Tolstoy
Teaching and educating people is a teacher’s duty, which contains both hardship and joy.
High learning makes one a teacher; upright conduct sets the example.
To be a strong educator, one must care for children’s hearts as a mother does. —Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi
Strict teachers produce outstanding students.
Foolish teachers only transmit knowledge; wise teachers teach students how to discover truth.
New leaves replace old ones in the grove, just as waves behind drive the waves ahead.
