Quotes by Teaching Every book that anyone sets out on is a voyage of discovery that may discover nothing. Any voyager may be lost at sea, like John Cabot. Nobody can teach the geography of the undiscovered. All he can do is encourge the will to explore, plus impress upon the inexperienced a few of the dos and don'ts of voyaging. Wallace Stegner teachingdiscoverybook Young writers should be encouraged to write, and discouraged from thinking they are writers. Wallace Stegner teachingwritingthinking The teaching of Jesus, if properly understood, would do away with organized temple worship altogether. Wallace D. Wattles templesteachingjesus It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing. The teaching of the Buddha is qualified as ehi-passika, inviting you to 'come and see', but not to come and believe. Walpola Rahula knowingteachingbelieve According to the Buddha's teaching the beginning of the life-stream of living beings is unthinkable. THe believer in the creation of life by God may be astonished at this reply.

Walpola Rahula teachinganswersmay After the final no there comes a yes Wallace Stevens futureteachinginspirational A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself. Walter Bagehot teachingfearteacher I do not want to make teaching films. If I did, I would create a separate organization. It is not higher education that interests me so much as general mass education. Walt Disney organizationteachingwant The most important change, and it's been going on for at least three decades, is the increasing "professionalization," if that's a word, of the faculty. By professionalization I mean the tendency of faculty members to have Ph.D.'s in their academic specialties, and for these specialties to be ever more narrowly defined. The higher-rated schools may have chief executives in residence or retired execs on three-year teaching fellowships, but the days when most faculty members had considerable prior experience as businessmen or women - those days are mostly over. Walter Kiechel teachingmeanschool The business schools could do a better job teaching face-to-face management, the actual work of organizing and helping along the efforts of others in the organization. The more quantitative disciplines have gotten more attention, often more research dollars. Areas like organizational science or, even mushier, leadership have had more trouble settling on what it's important to teach, and how.

Walter Kiechel motivationteachingbook Theologians have felt no hesitation in founding a system of speculative thought on the teachings of Jesus; and yet Jesus was never an inhabitant of the realm of speculative thought. Walter Rauschenbusch hesitationteachingjesus The predominant teachings of this age are that there are no limits to man's capacity to govern others and that, therefore, no limitations ought to be imposed upon government.

Walter Raleigh teachingteacherchildren Reading is the subtle and thorough sharing of the ideas and feelings by underhanded means.

Burger teachingrightsteacher Although our grammar schools are teaching a whole generation computer language to adjust to the technological needs of a Stage II [post survival-focused] society, we have neglected to teach this generation relationship language and conflict resolution skills to address the social and psychological needs of a Stage II society. And when it is taught, in countries like Germany, although called social competence it focuses on workplace teamwork - still on survival, breadwinner oriented work goals.
