Teachers never die. They live in your memory forever. They were there when you arrived, they were there when you left. Like fixtures. Once in a while they taught you something. But not that often. And, you never really knew them, any more than they knew you. Still, for awhile, you believed in them. And-if you were lucky-maybe there was one who believed in you. — Narrator (Adult Kevin Arnold) · 1990 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 disciple. — Amos Bronson Alcott · 1840 A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good action, for one single good poem, accomplishes more than he who fills our memory with rows on rows of natural objects, classified with name and form. — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe · 1808 But where's the man, who counsel can bestow, Still pleased to teach, and yet not proud to know? — Alexander Pope · 1711
