A teacher should have a creative mind.

Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.

Love is a better teacher than duty.

A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. The teacher who has come to the end of his subject, who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students, can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

Behind the parents stands the school, and behind the teacher the home.
