520 _aEvery morning, hundreds of thousands of adults handle the most demanding audience anyone could ever hope to know, a roomful of students, in what many would argue is the most important job in our society, teaching. Teachers have the power to shape lives, and in turn, shape the world where we live, as the famous thinkers in this fascinating collection will attest. Author Randy Howe gathered quotations from poets, writers, politicians, scholars, and many others, teachers all, to help put into words the many unspoken thoughts and emotions that his profession evokes. A good teacher is a passionate teacher, writes Howe, and teaching is an art form. With reflections from everyone from Aesop to Martin Luther King, Jr., and Margaret Mead to Barbara Kingsolver, these inspirational and informative words of wisdom discuss everything from the importance of teaching and learning, to the need to think outside the box, to dealing with discipline and classroom management. By turns thought provoking and laughter invoking, this collection should be on the bookshelf of every teacher, young and old alike. Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself, John Dewey. Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail, Mark Twain. Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth, Helen Caldicott. From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life, Arthur Ashe. Everything they become, I also become. And everything about me, they helped to create, Esmeacute; Raji Codell. He learns from those who have stood up before him, great thinkers like Confucius, Henry David Thoreau, Kahlil Gibran, Marie Curie, Thomas Jefferson, Bell Hooks, James Joyce, Kierkegaard, Maya Angelou, Albert Einstein, B.F. Skinner, Thomas A. Kempis, Charles Dickens, Judith Viorst, and George Bernard Shaw. The quotable teacher is the perfect gift to inspire new teachers, and to thank favorite ones. This collection of warm, wise, and witty quotes will win over any teacher.
