In a friendly class, where class teacher listens to the opinions of students, learning is much more comfortable.

Not all students don’t want to go to school on September 1 The role of a teacher in life modern man cannot be overestimated. Now it's fashionable to get a second, a third higher education. Many people study foreign languages, improve their skills, hoping to find a more prestigious and highly paid job.
Essentially, we are lifelong learners. Someone on own experience, someone on other people's mistakes. Ideally, it is better to meet a wise mentor. It’s great if this meeting happens in childhood, when habits and character are just being formed.
A teacher who loves his profession is able to direct the child’s interests in the right direction and instill the necessary skills for construction happy life. At the same time, the teacher himself must constantly replenish his knowledge and update the information stored in his head. Science does not stand still. And if you don’t improve, then schoolchildren and students will prefer the Internet to such a mentor.
Video: a parable about the importance of a teacher
The presented quotes reveal the essence of this profession, show teachers where they can improve, what they should strive for.
Alexander Botvinnikov once said: “Teachers are sure that eggs do not teach a chicken, but students are convinced that a chicken is not a bird.” The eternal confrontation between teachers and students on the battlefield called “School”. But once the fun school days are over, it’s impossible to find a former student who hated his school. And only quotes about teachers remind us of the past.
School years are wonderful
Good teacher
Karl Kraus once said: “The information that teachers have digested can be considered food for students.” In fact, similar quotes about teachers can often be found, but they do not position teachers as good or bad.
Another statement by Disterweg will help you come to an understanding of the phrase “good teacher”: “A bad teacher gives his students knowledge, a good one teaches them to find it.” This is exactly what a true teacher should do. To kindle interest, teach to sift out unnecessary things, gradually getting to the truth in search of your own answer - this is the task of every teacher.
Who can become a teacher?
While studying quotes about teachers of great people, you can stumble upon interesting statement Mendeleev: “It is necessary to call for pedagogy as for medicine and maritime affairs. To accept into the labor not those people who only want to secure a future for themselves, but those who are sure that they have a calling for this work, receive satisfaction from teaching and understand the necessity of their craft.” And one can easily agree with these words of the scientist. Being a teacher, like being an artist, can be learned, but only those gifted by nature can create real masterpieces.
To confirm the above, quotes about teachers from works of classical literature should be given. For example, Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy once wrote: “A teacher is not a person who has the appropriate education and upbringing, but one who is sure that he does not want to be anyone else. Such confidence is rarely found, and its presence is proven only by the sacrifices that a person has made for the benefit of his favorite cause. A teacher is one of the most worthy and noble callings.” This is exactly how a famous person spoke about the teaching profession.
The Perfect Teacher
Ideally, a teacher should love everything related to his profession, and not just have a calling. Looking through quotes about Russian language teachers, you may come across Tolstoy’s statement: “A good teacher loves what he does. A teacher who loves his students with a fatherly love is better than one who has read many books, but has never loved his craft or his students. And only one who loves his students and his craft can be called a perfect teacher.”
A teacher must love his job and treat his students well. But it's worth remembering that good attitude- these are not only good marks. Michel Montaigne once wrote the following: “I do not want the teacher to do everything alone, I want the teacher to listen to what his student says. Socrates and Arcesilaus always made their students speak first, and only then did they speak themselves. The teacher should ask the student not only the material of the lesson, but the essence and meaning. And judge the student not for his good memory, but for his own words. When explaining something to his student, the teacher must cover the information from different angles and check whether the student understood it. When a student answers a teacher’s question in his own words, it means that the teacher gave him bad information and, accordingly, he is a bad teacher.”
The teacher is obliged to teach his students to find answers on their own and want to gain as much knowledge as possible. Moreover, a teacher must be both a friend and a rival to his student.
Rival teacher
Leonardo da Vinci also said: “A student who cannot surpass his teacher evokes only pity.” Perhaps these kinds of quotes about teachers sound cruel, but there is undoubtedly a grain of truth hidden in them. What teacher would be happy about a student who has stopped his intellectual development. The desire to find your answers, your truth - this is what a teacher should try for.
Hubbard once said, “The teacher who can teach his pupils to find good in work must rest on his laurels.” Knowledge obtained under pressure, motivated only by getting a high grade, will never be a quality product educational activities. They will quickly be forgotten and will not bring any benefit. But if a student wants to know, nothing can stop him. The knowledge that he receives at the moment when the need arises to find his own answer is remembered for a lifetime. That is why the teacher must show the student that work for the benefit of truth brings, in addition to benefits, also pleasure.
But along with this, the educational process should be focused on the fact that the teacher is the student’s rival. Even Belinsky insisted on this: “A student cannot become better than his teacher when he is a role model and not a rival.”
Not everyone and not always needs a teacher
While extolling the teaching profession, very often people forget about the simple human factor when a teacher, no matter how good he may be, becomes useless. In the first case, this is when the student cannot be demanding of himself. Vasily Sukhomlinsky once said: “Even if a student has at least a hundred teachers, all their efforts will be meaningless if the student cannot force himself to do something or demand something from himself.”
In the second case, teachers become powerless when students initially begin to comprehend their own truths. Jean-Jacques Rousseau spoke very well about this: “Not a single teacher was needed by someone who was destined in advance to create his own teaching. Bacon, Descartes, Newton - these teachers of the human race never had their own mentors. And all that remains is to ask what teachers could lead them to where they ended up by chance?”
It may seem strange to many, but teachers should not push tons of information into students. A real teacher, like a catalyst, will show what the beauty of his subject is, and then the inquisitive mind of the student will do its own thing. It is these teachers who are most often remembered after leaving school. About those who showed the beauty of science, taught us to find answers and enjoy it.
It is the duty of teachers to inspire their students. And in order to inspire them themselves, interesting proverbs, aphorisms, and quotes about teachers are collected here in gratitude for their work.
These wise sayings about teachers and the teaching profession are ideal for congratulations on Teacher's Day.
Every year on October 5th classes of all educational institutions are filled with greeting cards, candy, flowers and performances with which students, pupils demonstrate what teachers mean to them, ranging from primary classes to a university professor. We all appreciate that vital important role, which teachers play in shaping the future. After all, it is impossible to ignore the contribution they make to this formation.
This is confirmed by the statements of the greats collected in this article, famous people about the people of this profession and the role they play in our lives.

Conclusion
We've put together this list of aphorisms, proverbs, and quotes for teachers to motivate them, especially when they've had a tough week, a long semester, or just need a little break. Quotes about the teacher and the teaching profession collected in this article will lift their spirits and show that their work is not in vain.
In 1994, an event occurred that affected both Russian teachers: UNESCO introduced a celebration International Day teachers October 5. Russia immediately added the celebration of “its” Day to this date, so since 1994, Teacher’s Day in Russia has been celebrated on October 5.
Since Teacher's Day has become a world holiday, let's listen to what they think about this profession all over the world. Of course, these will be half-joking statements, however, they have become aphorisms:
Norman Rockwell.
The famous orator Socrates said that there is no more difficult task on earth than to raise a real person.
His devoted student - Plato - noticed that the education of personality begins from the very birth of a person and ends only after his death.
Plato's most famous student, the sage Aristotle (who was the mentor of the formidable Alexander the Great), said that it is first necessary to give children knowledge, and then develop the necessary skills in them. Aristotle also asked his students to remember that in education it is important to remember three things: abilities or gifts, knowledge and constant exercise.
Henri Jules Jean Geoffroy (1853-1924)
No less famous are aphorisms about teachers written by Roman thinkers. For example, Cato liked to repeat that only a person whose deeds and words coincide can be called a true teacher, and Seneca, the most famous sage of the decline of the Roman Empire, added that the calling of a teacher is very difficult, so if the gods want to punish you, they will make you a teacher .
Helen Allingham
Eastern sages also paid attention to the matter of upbringing and education.
Eastern aphorisms about teachers are full of subtle humor and skillful mentoring. For example, the founder of Buddhism, Prince Gautama, who became the Enlightened Buddha, said that a teacher is obliged to give all his knowledge to his students, leaving nothing for himself.
Efim Cheptsov Retraining of teachers (1925).
The Chinese sage, the great Confucius, whose name is still sacred to any representative of this nation, believed that the calling of a teacher is the highest calling on Earth.
At the same time, he noted that only fools or people overly burdened with knowledge are not amenable to learning.
There are Eastern aphorisms about teachers who view their work as a heavy duty. Thus, there is a well-known Persian proverb that goes something like this: “If God listened to all the prayers of children, all the teachers on earth would perish,” while in the same Persian folklore there is another proverb, according to which a strict teacher is better than a kind father.
Thomas Brooks - The New Pupil, 1854, oil on canvas
Aphorisms about learning and teachers were written by the most famous thinkers and teachers. As Michel Montaigne believed, teachers need a lot of intelligence to teach children, even more than they would need if they were teaching themselves. Thomas Fuller, addressing teachers, pathetically exclaimed: “Having knowledge, do not skimp on children lighting their candles from your torch!”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau also became famous for his statements addressed to teachers. In particular, he called on teachers not to hammer certain knowledge into children’s heads, but to strive to ensure that children acquire this knowledge on their own.
Francesco Bergamini A Present for Teacher
Immanuel Kant wrote about this, who, addressing teachers, urged them: “Teach your children not to memorize thoughts, but to think.”
A similar statement belongs to the famous teacher Adolf Disterweg, who wrote that a bad teacher can only teach to remember the truth, but a good one helps children find it themselves. The same Diesterweg, not without irony, noted that one cannot become a true teacher by mastering a certain number of sciences, one can only be born one.
Richard Redgrave, 1844.
Among the European aphorisms of modern times about teachers, the following can be especially clearly distinguished:
As Samuel Butler notes, there are two types of teachers: the first teach a lot, and the second teach nothing at all.
Henry Adams says that every teacher touches eternity in his work.
Richard Aldington believes that the main task of a teacher is to show his student the right path in life and in the world of people.
According to Karl Kraus, students eat what their teachers digest for them.
Contemporary writer Paulo Coelho notes that the role of a teacher in the world is enormous. Only those who have endured trials on the spiritual path, have gained patience and courage to accept all events in their life without judgment, can receive a true teacher as a gift from heaven.
Russian aphorisms about school and teachers are varied.
We all know the words of A.S. Pushkin, who noted that “we all learned little by little... something and somehow....”.
Among Russian philosophers and writers, Leo Tolstoy became famous for such aphoristic statements about pedagogy.
In particular, Tolstoy wrote that only a person with certain character traits and a calling for this field of work can be a teacher.
Also, Tolstoy, with the help of an aphorism, deduces the formula of a real teacher, he says that such a teacher loves his children like a parent, and he also loves his job.
At the same time, the philosopher notes that it may be easy for a teacher to teach his students, but, as a rule, this learning is always difficult for them.
Razdrogin Igor Alexandrovich “Rural teacher” 1957
Characteristic of Russian pedagogical thought is an appeal to the importance of the teacher’s personality in the matter of education. Dmitry Pisarev points to this, noting that everything in raising children depends on the personality of the teacher himself.
He is echoed by Vasily Klyuchevsky, who notes that in order to become a good teacher, it is important to love your students and love your science.
Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky
Now we can summarize what has been said above about teachers:
Albert Anker(* 1831 * 1910)
R. Emerson is famous for saying that a teacher is a person who knows how to turn difficult things into easy ones.
Konstantin Kushner ironically and beautifully notes that the pedagogical load that lies on the teacher is so heavy that it can only be compared with cosmic overload.
V. Wilson believes that before educating, a teacher must remember that he himself must believe in every truth that he reveals to children.
There is a saying attributed to Otto von Bismarck that all wars are won not by generals or their armies, but by teachers.
And finally, W. Churchill once allowed himself to notice that a school teacher always has more power than the prime minister. This is paradoxical and beautiful saying liked his voters and became an aphorism.
Aphorisms about teachers are offered in a variety of ways. Humorous, realistic, rhetorical - but the most important thing in these statements is the understanding of that greatest role, which belongs to the teacher in the human world.
