One of the very important characteristics of a student is to question. Let the students ask questions.

Great teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.

Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level.

The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise... Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers.

If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.

A teacher should have a creative mind.

Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliban, and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honour for me.

Yes, we've still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.

Children need to get a high-quality education, avoid violence and the criminal-justice system, and gain jobs. But they deserve more. We want them to learn not only reading and math but fairness, caring, self-respect, family commitment, and civic duty.

There is no substitute for merit.

The foundation of nation building rests on education.

Schools and colleges are just buildings. The real test of education is: how much knowledge the teachders are able to transfer to their students.

Education pervades all forms of learning.

There are books of which the bags and covers are by far the best parts.

Books are indispensable. You can move from hard copies to soft copies. But that’s about it.

I no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool.

There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

Strange logic is the product of misplaced intelligence.

The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.

The education I received was a British education, in which British ideas, British culture, British institutions, are automatically assumed to be superior. There was no such thing as African culture.

Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education.

No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

I feel exhausted if I teach too long.

My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding.

I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted. 

Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education.
