Let's start with this quote by C.S. Lewis: "The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts."
"Students don't care how much you know
until they know how much you care."
--John C. Maxwell
"A teacher's job is to take a bunch of live wires
and see that they are well-grounded."
--D.D. Martin

"The best teachers are those who show you

"Education is our passport to the future,
for tomorrow belongs to the people
who prepare for it today."
