One is born to be a dancer. No teacher can work miracles, nor will years of training make a good dancer of an untalented pupil. One may be able to acquire a certain technical facility, but no one can ever 'acquire an exceptional talent.' I have never prided myself on having an unusually gifted pupil. A Pavlova is no one's pupil but God's.

George Balanchine

Often nothing keeps the pupil on the move but his faith in his teacher, whose mastery is now beginning to dawn on him .... How far the pupil will go is not the concern of the teacher and master. Hardly has he shown him the right way when he must let him go on alone. There is only one thing more he can do to help him endure his loneliness: he turns him away from himself, from the Master, by exhorting him to go further than he himself has done, and to "climb on the shoulders of his teacher."

Eugen Herrigel

Nature is schoolmistress, the soul the pupil; and whatever one has taught or the other has learned has come from God - the Teacher of the teacher.

Tertullian

The most valuable thing a teacher can impart to children is not knowledge and understanding per se but a longing for knowledge and understanding, and an appreciation for intellectual values, whether they be artistic, scientific, or moral. It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. Most teachers waste their time by asking questions that are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning is to discover what the pupil does know or is capable of knowing.

Albert Einstein

Man is a pupil, pain is his teacher.

Alfred de Musset

You are rewarding a teacher poorly if you remain always a pupil.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I have become a pupil of the AA movement rather than the teacher.

Bill W.

I will venture to maintain that where the teacher is not pleasing to the pupil, there is no education.

Xenophon

One repays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I have always felt that the true text-book for the pupil is his teacher

Mahatma Gandhi

The cardinal virtue of a teacher [is] to protect the pupil from his own influence.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

To do is hard, but to teach is still harder. Do not teach only to teach. Teach to improve the pupil. To be a teacher requires tremendous, vigorous discipline on oneself. We are teachers because somebody demands it from us. But the teacher should first rub his own self, and teach afterwards

B.K.S. Iyengar

A teacher is frequently the only adult in the pupil's environment who treats him with respect.

Bel Kaufman

Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.

Arthur Koestler

You yourself are the teacher, and the pupil, you're the master, you're the guru, you are the leader, you are everything! And, to understand is to transform what is.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

When you're travelling, your day is jam-packed. I just don't have time to whip out a PC all the time. But I can whip out a BlackBerry and tweet. I keep a constant diary of where I'm at and why I'm there.
