I come from a long line of teachers, including my parents and my grandmother. In fact, my parents met when they taught at the same high school. I’m very grateful for them as well as the wonderful teachers that I have had and who have educated my daughter.<\/p>\n

World Teachers Day has been observed on October 5 since it was designated such by UNESCO in 1994, but\u00a0we should honor them every day. As one way of doing so, here are some of my favorite inspiring quotes about teachers.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThose who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.\u201d – Aristotle<\/p>\n

“I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.” – John Wooden<\/p>\n

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” – Albert Einstein<\/p>\n

“The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called ‘truth’.” – Dan Rather<\/p>\n

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” – Henry Adams<\/p>\n

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” –\u00a0<\/em>William Butler Yeats<\/p>\n

“Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher.” – Japanese Proverb<\/p>\n

“Teachers can change minds with just the right mix of chalk and challenges.” – Joyce Meyer<\/p>\n

“We expect teacher to reach unattainable goals with inadequate resources. The miracle is this: they often do.” – Haim Ginott<\/p>\n

“True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own bridges.” – Nikos Kazantzakis<\/p>\n

\u201cOne child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.\u201d – Malala Yousafzai<\/p>\n
