Quotable Quotes to End Your Week

Dear Teacher,

On the Dear Teacher/Love Teacher Facebook page and Twitter feed I have start to share some cool and inspiring quotes about teachers, teaching, and education.  To end off your week, I thought it would be a nice end to the week to share them and some more that I have found.  If you are looking for a great source to find quotes, by the way, Brainy Quotes is the best source I have found online.

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” -Ben Franklin

“I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.” -John Steinbeck

“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.” -Robert Frost

“The teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.” -Horace Mann

I also shared this clip of Helen Keller.  I thought it was amazing, so I will share it here, as well.  Watch and be inspired!

Read, watch, enjoy, and share.  You are awesome!  Pick one of these quotes to motivate you over the weekend to help you get ready for next week!  Keep on teaching, Teacher!

Love, Teacher
