If you become a teacher, by your pupils you'll be taught.

We're made for the light of a cave and for twilight. Twilight is the time we see best. When we dim the light down, and the pupil opens, feeling comes out of the eye like touch. Then you really can feel colour, and experience it.

The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.

The best known of the Cynics was Diogenes, a pupil of Antisthenes, who reputedly lived in a barrel and owned nothing but a cloak, a stick, and a bread bag. (So it wasn't easy to steal his happiness from him!) One day while he was sitting beside his barrel enjoying the sun, he was visited by Alexander the Great. The emperor stood before him and asked if there was anything he could do for him. Was there anything he desired? ?Yes? Diogenes replied. ?Stand to one side. You're blocking the sun.?

Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.

Far from wishing to awaken the artist in the pupil prematurely the teacher considers it his first task to make him a skilled artisan with sovereign control of his craft.

Time is a great teacher but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.

If you become a teacher by your pupils you'll be taught.

A teacher is never too smart to learn from his pupils. But while runners differ basic principles never change. So it's a matter of fitting your current practices to fit the event and the individual. See what's good for you might not be worth a darn for the next guy.

Why not whip the teacher when the pupil misbehaves?

A good teacher must know the rules a good pupil the exceptions.

The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-trust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciples.

I could undertake to be an efficient pupil if it were possible to find an efficient teacher.

The teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.

That is the difference between good teachers and great teachers: good teachers make the best of a pupil's means great teachers foresee a pupil's ends.

A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.

My heart is singing for joy this morning! A miracle has happened! The light of understanding has shone upon my little pupil's mind and behold all things are changed!

The inequalities are greater now than in '92. Some states have equalized per-pupil spending but they set the 'equal level' very low so that wealthy districts simply raise extra money privately.

Creative activity could be described as a type of learning process where teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.

I want to see far more decisions taken far closer to the patients the passengers and the pupils. Far more power for locally and regionally elected politicians who understand best the needs of their areas. And far more say too for the dedicated staff at all levels in health and education.

As the true object of education is not to render the pupil the mere copy of his preceptor it is rather to be rejoiced in than lamented that various reading should lead him into new trains of thinking.

All claims of education notwithstanding the pupil will accept only that which his mind craves.

To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there and that is not what I call education. I call it intrusion.

Art as far as it is able follows nature as a pupil imitates his master thus your art must be as it were God's grandchild.
