Teaching proverbs

Page 4

◆ Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.

- Aristotle99

◆ A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty.

- John Grogan99

◆ In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.

- Phil Collins99

◆ Don't fuck with an English major. They keep lots of useless crap trapped in their heads. Once in a while they let some of it out and it bites you square on the ass.

- P.C. Cast99

◆ You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself.

- Galileo Galilei99

◆ Adults constantly raise the bar on smart children, precisely because they're able to handle it. The children get overwhelmed by the tasks in front of them and gradually lose the sort of openness and sense of accomplishment they innately have. When they're treated like that, children start to crawl inside a shell and keep everything inside. It takes a lot of time and effort to get them to open up again. Kids' hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were.

- Haruki Murakami99

◆ People cited violation of the First Amendment when a New Jersey schoolteacher asserted that evolution and the Big Bang are not scientific and that Noah's ark carried dinosaurs. This case is not about the need to separate church and state; it's about the need to separate ignorant, scientifically illiterate people from the ranks of teachers.

- Neil deGrasse Tyson99

◆ I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

- Albert Einstein99

◆ The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher.

- Elbert Hubbard99

◆ Real learning comes about when the competitive spirit has ceased.

- Jiddu Krishnamurti99

◆ Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.

- Jacques Barzun99

◆ I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

- Martin Luther99

◆ Experience teaches only the teachable.

- Aldous Huxley99

◆ Only those who look with the eyes of children can lose themselves in the object of their wonder.

- Eberhard Arnold99

◆ Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.

- Richard Bach99
