Condorcet
"The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher."
Elbert Hubbard
"Many instructional arrangements seem "contrived," but there is nothing wrong with that. It is the teacher's function to contrive conditions under which students learn. It has always been the task of formal education to set up behavior which would prove useful or enjoyable later in a student's life."
B.F. Skinner
"You can't teach people everything they need to know. The best you can do is position them where they can find what they need to know when they need to know it."
Seymour Papert
"I am a coach. It is the greatest gift that life could give me, since I am allowed to spend my days with the future athletes of the world. My students will be the best that I can teach them to be. I will use my knowledge in the field of sports to achieve these goals."

"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting for centuriesfor somebody ignorant enough of the impossibility to do that thing."
Dr. J. A. Holmes

Aristotle
"Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them."
John Ruskin
"One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community."
Albert Einstein
"Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity a greater."
William Hazlitt
"One looks with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child."
Carl Jung
"The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond our wildest dreams."
Sidney Madwed
"The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think, rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men. "
James Beattie
"Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another; it is the only means."
Albert Einstein
"Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity."
Aristotle
