Teaching, may I say, is the noblest profession of all in a democracy.

Kurt Vonnegut

[The] noblest of [Arabs] united the love of arms with the profession of merchandise.

Edward Gibbon

The wisest and noblest teacher is nature itself.

Leonardo da Vinci

To me, the coaching profession is one of the noblest and most far-reaching in building manhood.

Amos Alonzo Stagg

I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can't think of a profession I have more respect for.

Jon Hamm

Art is created to make us, to make our passage through the world better, fruitful - and I would say that every story in the end, if it is good, tells us something. This is actually what I meant when I said a novelist is a teacher. Which is why I am constantly dealing with "didactic". Now a teacher in the sense I use it is not somebody who has the profession of standing in front of children, with a piece of chalk in his hand scribbling on the blackboard. That is not the teacher I have in mind. The teacher I have in mind is something less tangible.

Chinua Achebe

My father, Haridutt Bhatt, was a teacher by profession.

Himani Shivpuri

Acting is not the noblest profession in the world, but there are things lower than acting. Not many, mind you - but politicians give you something to look down on from time to time.

Spencer Tracy

To be a housewife is a difficult, a wrenching, sometimes an ungrateful job if it is looked on only as a job. Regarded as a profession, it is the noblest as it is the most ancient of the catalogue. Let none persuade us differently or the world is lost indeed.

Phyllis McGinley

I think teaching should be an exalted profession, not a picked-on profession.

Chuck Schumer

The creative impulse can be killed, but it cannot be taught. What a teacher can do... in working with children, is to give the flame enough oxygen so that it can burn. As far as I'm concerned, this providing of oxygen is one of the noblest of all vocations.
