Since Teacher's Day has become a worldwide holiday, let us listen to what they think about this profession all over the world. Of course, these will be half-joking statements, nevertheless, which have become aphorisms:

Norman Rockwell.

The famous orator Socrates said that there is no more difficult task on earth than raising a real person.
His devoted disciple - Plato - noticed that the education of personality begins from the very birth of a person and ends only after his death.
The most famous student of Plato, the sage Aristotle (who was the mentor of the formidable Alexander the Great), said that first it is necessary to give children knowledge, and then develop the necessary skills in them. Aristotle also asked his students to remember that it is important to remember three things in education: abilities or gifts, knowledge and constant exercise.

Henri Jules Jean Geoffroy (1853-1924)

No less well-known are the aphorisms about teachers belonging to the pen of Roman thinkers. For example, Cato loved to repeat that only a person whose deeds and words coincide can be called a true teacher, and Seneca, the famous sage of the era of the decline of the Roman Empire, added that the vocation of a teacher is very difficult, so if the gods want to punish you, they will make you a teacher. ...

Helen Allingham

The oriental sages also paid attention to the matter of upbringing and education.
Eastern aphorisms about teachers full of subtle humor and skillful mentoring. For example, the founder of Buddhism, Prince Gautama, who became the Enlightened Buddha, said that the teacher must give his students all his knowledge, leaving nothing for himself.

Efim Cheptsov Retraining of teachers (1925).

The Chinese sage, the great Confucius, whose name is still sacred to any representative of this nation, believed that the vocation of a teacher is the highest vocation on Earth.
At the same time, he noted that only fools or people who are overly burdened with knowledge do not lend themselves to learning.
There are Eastern aphorisms about teachers who view their work as a heavy duty. For example, there is a well-known Persian proverb that sounds something like this: "If God listened to all the prayers of children, all teachers on earth would perish", while in the same Persian folklore there is another proverb, according to which a strict teacher is better than a kind father.

Thomas Brooks - The New Pupil, 1854, oil on canvas

Aphorisms about studies and teachers belonged to the pen of the most famous thinkers and teachers. As Michel Montaigne believed, teachers need a lot of intelligence to teach children, even more than they would need if they were to learn on their own. Thomas Fuller, addressing the teachers, pathetically exclaimed: "Having knowledge, do not skimp on the fact that children light their candles from your torch!"
Jean-Jacques Rousseau became famous for his statements addressed to teachers. In particular, he urged teachers not to hammer certain knowledge into the heads of children, but to strive to ensure that children receive this knowledge on their own.

Francesco Bergamini A Present for Teacher

Immanuel Kant wrote about this, who, addressing teachers, urged them: "Teach your children not to memorize thoughts, but to think."
A similar statement belongs to the famous teacher Adolf Diesterweg, who wrote that a bad teacher can only teach to remember the truth, and a good one helps children find it themselves. The same Disterweg noted, not without irony, that one cannot become a true teacher after having mastered a certain number of sciences, one can only be born.

Richard Redgrave, 1844.

Among the European aphorisms of modern times about teachers, the following can be singled out especially vividly:
As Samuel Butler points out, there are two types of teachers: the former teach a lot, and the latter teach nothing at all.
Henry Adams says that every teacher in his work touches eternity.
Richard Aldington believes that the main task of a teacher is to show his student the right path in life and in the world of people.

According to Karl Kraus, the students eat what the teachers have digested for them.
Modern writer Paulo Coelho notes that the role of the teacher in the world is enormous. Only the one who has passed the test for spiritual path, has gained patience and courage to accept all events in his life without condemnation, can receive a real teacher as a gift from heaven.

Russian aphorisms about school and teachers are diverse.
We all know the words of A.S. Pushkin, who noticed that "we all learned a little ... something and somehow ....".
Among Russian philosophers and writers, Leo Tolstoy became famous for such aphoristic statements about pedagogy.

In particular, Tolstoy wrote that only a person with certain character traits and vocation for this area of work can be a teacher.
Also, Tolstoy, with the help of aphorism, deduces the formula of a real teacher, he says that such a teacher loves his children as a parent, and he also loves his job.
At the same time, the philosopher notes that it can be easy for a teacher to teach his pupils, however, as a rule, this study is always difficult for them.

Razdrogin Igor Alexandrovich "Rural teacher" 1957

A characteristic feature of Russian pedagogical thought is the appeal to the importance of the personality of the teacher in the matter of education. This is indicated by Dmitry Pisarev, noting that everything in raising children depends on the personality of the educator himself.
Vasily Klyuchevsky echoes him, noting that in order to become a good teacher, it is important to love your students and love your science.

Nikolay Bogdanov-Belsky

Now we can summarize the above about teachers:

Albert Anker (* 1831 * 1910)

R. Emerson's words are known that a teacher is a person who knows how to turn difficult things into easy ones.
Konstantin Kushner ironically and beautifully notes that the pedagogical load on the teacher is so heavy that it can only be compared with the cosmic overload.

V. Wilson believes that before educating, a teacher must remember that in every truth that he reveals to children, he must believe himself.

There is a saying attributed to Otto von Bismarck that all wars are won not by generals or their armies, but by teachers.

And, finally, W. Churchill once allowed himself to remark that the school teacher always has more power than the prime minister. This is paradoxical and beautiful saying liked his voters and became an aphorism.

Aphorisms about teachers are offered in a variety of ways. Humorous, realistic, rhetorical - but the most important thing in these statements is the understanding of the greatest role that the teacher plays in the world of people.

Morgan weistling

Teacher work- one of those professions with which a child becomes especially familiar, and therefore it is not surprising that it occupies a large place in his games, and then often becomes the subject of a young man's dreams. But not every schoolchild, even an older one, who admires pedagogical skill, understands well what qualities a person should possess who wants to devote himself to the great cause of teaching and educating the younger generation.

Great value for success pedagogical work has the right attitude towards children. Anyone who does not have a keen interest in children, gets annoyed by their slightest offenses, can hardly become a good teacher. The best educators always get the greatest satisfaction from working with children. And the children, in turn, feel well whether an employee comes to their class, performing his duties, or whether a friend, an enthusiast of his business, whom he is passionate about, in which he puts his whole soul, is engaged.

Love for children gives birth to love for pedagogical work. And this love gives skill in work. It is clear to everyone: you can only teach what you yourself know well and what you have a great interest in studying. The subject taught should be the teacher's favorite science. However, it does not at all follow from this that the teacher limits the range of his knowledge and interests to the narrow framework of one of his subjects. The child's mind is inquisitive and inquisitive. Quite often children ask the teacher questions that are far from his specialty. And you need to be always ready to satisfy the needs of children. Therefore, the teacher must constantly acquire new and new information about the world around him, and not only on the subject that he teaches.

In terms of determining the professional qualities of a teacher, the characteristics of pedagogical work are interesting quotes from great people about teachers, educators... They introduce us to the intricacies of the profession, make us respect the teacher's profession, reveal its essence, convey personal experience the author.

WITH quotes about teachers it will be useful to get to know future teachers or schoolchildren who are still on the verge of choosing a profession.

Not the teacher who receives the upbringing and education of a teacher, but the one who has the inner confidence that he is, should and cannot be otherwise.
If a teacher has only love for the work, he will be a good teacher.
