#Teaching

"Knowledge was scattered treasure, education organized it into art, commerce and science."

"That's what education should be,"I said, "the art of orientation. Educators should devise the simplest and most effective methods of turning minds around. It shouldn't be the art of implanting sight in the organ, but should proceed on the understanding that the organ already has the capacity, but is improperly aligned and isn't facing the right way."

"I would rather my descendants have greater abilities and a greater knowledge of the love of Christ than I do, much like standing on one's shoulders in order to get a clearer view of the valley."

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

"Our children are only as brilliant as we allow them to be."

"Music and symbols, they're older than human race.Prehuman beings used them to teach early mankind."

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

"A teacher who cannot explain any abstract subject to a child does not himself thoroughly understand his subject; if he does not attempt to break down his knowledge to fit the child's mind, he does not understand teaching."

"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."

"Students never appreciate their teachers while they are learning. It is only later, when they know more of the world, that they understand how indebted they are to those who instructed them. Good teachers expect no praise or love from the young. They wait for it, and in time, it comes."

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

"I would teach how science works as much as I would teach what science knows. I would assert (given that essentially, everyone will learn to read) that science literacy is the most important kind of literacy they can take into the 21st century. I would undervalue grades based on knowing things and find ways to reward curiosity. In the end, it's the people who are curious who change the world."

"The journey from teaching about love to allowing myself to be loved proved much longer than I realised."

"When mother-cow is chewing grass its young ones watch its mouth"

"I made a cauldron of coffee, and I was thinking we could chug it and then teach each other how to dance by using the bottom of a floating canoe as a ballroom."

"A person must earn enlightenment, Eragon. It is not handed down to you by others, regardless of how revered they be."

"The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot."

"[Kids] don't remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are."

"Formal education teaches how to stand, but to see the rainbow you must come out and walk many steps on your own."

"When red fights with white, pink is always the winner. Let that be a lesson in love."
