Introduction.
Whatever means of teaching in geography are currently used, the main thing remains the teacher’s spoken word.
The teacher’s oral speech should be clear and figurative. To make it more figurative, statements that have long ago received citizenship rights on the pages of geographical literature and have become aphorisms will help: “The map is the alpha and omega of geography,” “The map is the second language of geography.”
There are quite a lot of such aphorisms that can be used in geography lessons. In geographical literature, in magazines, newspapers there are laconic, brief, but at the same time extremely precise definitions and characteristics of geographical objects, although they do not belong outstanding people. Practice has shown that such definitions and characteristics are easily remembered by students, and the material being studied is easier to assimilate.
The great Russian teacher K.D. Ushinsky wrote that comparison is the basis of all understanding, all teaching. Practice shows that the greatest effect is obtained from the use of aphorisms containing a comparison of the unknown being studied with what has already been studied, known. This evokes associations among schoolchildren and contributes to the solid assimilation of new material.
I give examples of such aphorisms, easy comparisons, vivid characteristics collected from literature and periodicals. For ease of use, they are systematized by geographical objects. This systematization is very conditional.
Aphorisms can be used in natural history, biology, history, etc. lessons.

How “rejoiced” Blok was at the sinking of the Titanic and wrote in his diary: “There is still an ocean.”

Geography forces a person to look at the world not through the narrow gap of his specialty, but from a bird's eye view. From the height of a high mountain she shows him all the kingdoms of the world. Our viewing angle is 360 degrees.

The study of nature without man is the last tribute of modern scientists to the previous years of scholastic thinking.
P.A. Kropotkin
Science is a great thing. I knew the joys it brought, and appreciated them, perhaps even more than my brothers.

A scientist should always be above the globe. Must see and know everything that is happening on the globe.

Is it possible to do... so that the globe becomes not an external object, but becomes part of the soul.
M.P. Prishvin
Science not only represents self-impressive value as a method, not only satisfies the practical needs of life in the field of morality, education and mental hygiene, but also has enormous aesthetic significance. Science serves to cleanse the soul from all filth. For a true scientist, knowing the truth is a selfless act, and the contemplation of truth leads to the same ecstasy as the contemplation of beauty.
L.S. Berg
Geography can captivate us to the point of oblivion and move us toward the greatest creations in the field of poetic creativity.

If a fly crawls around a globe, this does not mean at all that it is skilled in geography.

The girl carefully sat down on the bench. She saw a map of the USSR among the wall slogans and asked Chiklin about the features of the meridians.
- Uncle, what is this - fences from the bourgeoisie?
“Fences, daughter, so that they don’t climb over to us,” Chiklin explained, wanting to give her a revolutionary mind.
A. Platonov, "Pit"
In the thirties of our century, geography, which previously developed as a continuation of Russian and world geography, was quartered in our country, i.e. divided into four parts. The first part - local history, was liquidated in the twenty-eighth - twenty-ninth years. Cartography was sent to the NKVD, and therefore there can still be no talk of any culture of cartography, it only comes out of secret basements... And as for physical and economic geography, a wall was erected between them due to the impossibility of how Then they said, a mixture of natural and social laws. IN physical geography people who wanted to study geography and whom the “wall” saved from inevitable repression left.

A geographer has to learn more than teach.
N.N. Baransky
I can only recommend one thing. Namely, to make geography a national science.
N.N. Baransky
Without geographical knowledge it is impossible to form a correct idea of the world, of life, of the purpose of man. In the matter of human self-awareness, geography goes hand in hand with philosophy and history; it participates in the formation of a worldview.
A. Armand
A people who can do without geography is like a person born blind who does not understand what sight is.
B.B. Rodoman

The center of the world is everywhere.
R. Balandin
The integrity of geographical science, its unity is the most valuable, the most important for solving problems environment.
SOUTH. Saushkin
The tragedy of geography today is that the country has made demands for knowledge of non-economic processes in space. Our... geographers literally ran into only economic geography.
L. Smirnyagin
Geography is distinguished from other earth sciences not only by the subject of study, but also by the main method - descriptive. This is the oldest and common method for all geographical sciences. The content of which becomes more complex with the development of science. The name “geography” (from the Greek “earth” and “to describe”) contains not only the subject, but also the main method of this science.
F.N. Milkov
The object of geography, of course, at all times remained the same: our planet Earth, in its relation to other world bodies, and most importantly in itself, especially in its surface, which serves as the arena of various cosmic and telluric forces, as a result of which it developed as its atmosphere, hydro-, litho- and pediosphere (soil sphere - R.G.), and... its bio- and anthroposphere, i.e. forms organic life on its surface and the stage and form of its most perfect organic product - man.
D.N. Anuchin
A “triune” approach has emerged (a specific method of geographical research - R.G.) in modern geography- territoriality (this term should be replaced by the term geotoriality) complexity, specificity - which until recently served geographers faithfully. However, now, apparently, it should be supplemented with another quality - globality, i.e. the requirement of mandatory correlation of local, regional, national, continental, zonal and other particular problems with the world (global) “background”.
E.B. Alaev
The object of geographical research is any material formation or phenomenon (state, relationship, process) on the earth’s surface (in the landscape shell), which meets the three most important methodological principles of geography (territoriality or “geotoriality”, complexity, specificity), is mapped (i.e. meets the main methodological feature), affects the development or state of the landscape envelope; its study involves obtaining new knowledge (facts, theories) about this shell (about the geoverse).
E.B. Alaev
The territory is inexhaustible in its knowledge and meaning.
