Check out this collection of education quotes that will help you appreciate the power of “Wisdom. comes not from age, but from education and learning.
"The highest result of education is tolerance."
This is from Helen Keller's 1903 essay, Optimism. She continues:
"Long ago men fought and died for their faith; but it took ages to teach them the other kind of courage, the courage to recognize the faiths of their brethren and their rights of conscience. Tolerance is the first principal of community; it is the spirit which conserves the best that all men think."
The emphasis is mine. In my mind, Keller is saying that an open mind is a tolerant mind, a discriminating mind that can see the best in people, even when it is different.
Keller lived 1880 to 1968.
"When the student is ready, the master appears."
"Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will."
I include this quotation with the others about open minds because walking through the world ready for new learning indicates that your mind is open. Your teacher is sure to appear!

These 60 teacher quotes encompass a vast range of opinions, experiences and perspectives. It may be overwhelming to consider them all at once. It’s also easy to read a quote and become inspired, only to promptly forget about it.
A method of internalizing these quotes — and the important ideas they express — is to pick one that you find particularly inspirational, and to live by it for one week. Make a goal to try to apply it in the classroom during the school day.
Consider the following steps to make this more effective:
Teaching is a continually challenging profession, and the energy to tackle each day in the classroom is often in short supply. Occasionally, all you need is a little motivation to remind yourself why you teach.
Teacher burnout is a real problem. You shouldn’t necessarily just go looking for “motivation” when you need help with a lesson plan, a better way to grade papers, or a more differentiated approach to teaching.
But sometimes a short, powerful quote can serve as a well-placed reminder that your efforts are meaningful and important. After all, even the best teacher needs a little extra push from time to time.
