Happy Teacher Appreciation Week

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, here are some of my favorite quotes about the best profession there is! :)

“The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth.” 
Dan Rather 


“Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions.” 
Anonymous 


"If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job. " 
Donald D. Quinn


"Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theatre." 
Gail Godwin


"Teaching is the greatest act of optimism." 
Colleen Wilcox


"One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child."
Carl Jung
