“A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others.”
“Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.”
“Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.”
“
The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."
“The difference between good teachers and great teachers is that great teachers have mastered the art of teaching people things they didn't know they needed to learn.”

Teachers
Paint their minds
And guide their thoughts
Share their achievements
and advise their faults
Inspire a Love
Of knowledge and truth
As you light the path
Which leads our youth
For our future brightens
With each lesson you teach
Each smile you lengthen
Each goal you help reach
For the dawn of each poet
Each philosopher and king
Begins with a Teacher
And the wisdom they bring.
By Kevin William Huff.
