Everyone's looking for the perfect teacher, but although their teachings might be divine, teachers are all too human, and that's something people find hard to accept. Don't confuse the teacher with the lesson, the ritual with the ecstasy, the transmitter of the symbol with the symbol itself.

Paulo Coelho

True guilt is guilt at the obligation one owes to oneself to be oneself. False guilt is guilt felt at not being what other people feel one ought to be or assume that one is.

R. D. Laing

Suffering is our best teacher because it hangs onto us and keeps us in its grip until we have learnt that particular lesson. Only then does suffering let go. If we haven’t learnt our lesson, we can be quite sure that the same lesson is going to come again, because life is nothing but an adult education class, If we don’t pass in any of the subjects, we just have to sit the examination again. Whatever lesson we have missed, we will get it again. That is why we find ourselves reacting to similar situations in similar ways many times.

Ayya Khema

Guilt for being rich, and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn't enough and you have to go and get shot or something.

John Lennon

He could deal with his guilt all by himself. Guilt didn't add up to love, an emotion she was done with forever.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Good guilt is a product of love and responsibility. It is a natural, positive instinct that parents and good child care providers have. If bad guilt is a monster, good guilt is a friendly fairy godmother, yakking away in your head to keep you alert to the needs of your baby.

Jean Marzollo

When I had my first voice lesson I was 15 years old. And I had a really good teacher. This is what made all the difference. A good teacher will teach you the technique, but also how to listen to your voice.

Cecilia Bartoli

So the starting point and the basis of their liberal wails of anguish always and always is guilt. Guilt, guilt, guilt.

John Ringo

This has to be your first lesson in sannyas: accept yourself, love yourself, drop all guilt, don`t divide yourself. There is nothing higher, nothing lower; all of you is divine. The lowest is as divine as the highest.

Rajneesh

Christian love is loving without counting the cost. This is the lesson of the Good Samaritan; this is the lesson of Jesus.

Pope Francis

Make peace with guilt. Guilt is a poisonous illusion. Many languages don't even have a word for guilt.

Kris Carr

Guilt and no guilt: these were the worst things. The only thing worse than the guilt was the fear of getting caught.

Elin Hilderbrand

A teacher's hardest lesson is to limit his explanation to the minimum.

Ernst Bacon

No teacher has ever been better prepared to teach a lesson.

Christa McAuliffe

Americanism demands loyalty to the teacher and respect for his lesson.

Bainbridge Colby

A love that left people alone in their guilt would not have real people as its object. So, in vicarious responsibility for people, and in His love for real human beings, Jesus becomes the one burdened by guilt.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
