The chief wonder of education is that it does not ruin everybody concerned in it, teachers and taught.

The very best teachers do not teach their students - they enchant them with the wonder of learning that will last a lifetime.

One test should not govern how students are judged or how teachers are judged. This will not benefit education.

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell, where his influence stops.

What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?

An individual school can handle a resident idiot from time to time, but an entire school system is only as good as its weakest leader.
