3 December 2020 Ellen Pompeo I don’t find acting to be a particularly noble way to make a living. I’m not saving anybody’s life, I’m not a teacher, I’m not working for UNICEF. I don’t think I’m some big deal.
3 December 2020 Doug E. Fresh People can look to me as a teacher, but I consider myself a student of hip-hop.
3 December 2020 Sanford I. Weill I remember the mentoring experiences of some teachers that I had, like a second term home room teacher in public school that really was very helpful to me.
3 December 2020 Seymour Papert The role of the teacher is to create the conditions for invention rather than provide ready-made knowledge.
3 December 2020 Amos Bronson Alcott 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.
3 December 2020 Paul O'Grady I enjoyed school – although I ran away on the first day. I’d reminded the teacher that it was nearly time for ‘Watch With Mother’ on TV.
3 December 2020 Paul Twitchell There is no teacher, living or past, who can give us the actual understanding of Truth. A teacher can only put our feet upon the path and point the way. That is all. It is wholly dependent on the individual to make his way to Truth.
3 December 2020 William Glasser In a Glasser Quality School there is no such thing as a closed book test. Students are told to get out their notes and open their books. There is no such thing as being forbidden to ask the teacher or another student for help.
3 December 2020 Mark Knopfler There happened to be guitar classes at the college, and there was a guitar teacher there with whom I used to play. In addition, I also would go out into country schools and teach little kids basic guitar and singing a few times a week.
3 December 2020 Roald Hoffmann I am a teacher, and I am proud of it. At Cornell University I have taught primarily undergraduates, and indeed almost every year since 1966 have taught first-year general chemistry.
3 December 2020 David Puttnam Without any doubt at all, teacher quality is the fundamental differentiator. Not just, incidentally, of education, but I would argue, probably the biggest single differentiator of success for the nations of the 21st Century.
3 December 2020 Eddie Van Halen I’m blessed with a good pair of ears. That’s how I fooled my piano teacher. I’d watch his fingers and I’d listen to it, and I just kind of basically learned it by myself.
3 December 2020 Judy Collins I feel so very grateful to have the voice God gave me. It takes a lot of rest and training to sing, and I was lucky that I found a great teacher when I first moved to New York.
3 December 2020 Bill Gates If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn’t have tenure.
3 December 2020 Brigitte Bardot Vadim was both my teacher and my husband. I placed myself entirely in his hands.

3 December 2020 Donald Norman We expert teachers know that motivation and emotional impact are what matter.
3 December 2020 Joe Manchin Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that’s not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbor. Often times it is a teacher.
3 December 2020 Jonathan Shapiro There was a teacher who recognized that I was interested in cartooning and he was great.
3 December 2020 Glenn Beck Please stop teaching my children that everyone gets a trophy just for participating. What is this, the Nobel Prize? Not everybody gets a trophy.
3 December 2020 A. C. Benson I am sure it is one’s duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one’s own. I suffered acutely as a boy from the lack of being shown this.
3 December 2020 William Osler No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.
3 December 2020 Frederick Reines I was strongly encouraged by a science teacher who took an interest in me and presented me with a key to the laboratory to allow me to work whenever I wanted.
3 December 2020 Richard Dreyfuss If I wasn’t an actor, I’d be a teacher, a history teacher. After all, teaching is very much like performing. A teacher is an actor, in a way. It takes a great deal to get, and hold, a class.
3 December 2020 Glenn Ford He was very commanding, and you had to know what you were doing to work for Mr. Rogers. I learned how to ride very quickly with him as my riding teacher.
3 December 2020 Maria Callas 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.
