I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn. Albert Einstein

I am putting old heads on your young shoulders ... All my pupils are la creme de la creme. Muriel Spark, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. Ralph Waldo Emerson
One repays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil. Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel,
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. William Shakespeare, As You Like It II vii 143
Pupils told they have a ‘right’ to a good sex life: That’s the advice for youngsters from the NHS. Mail online article Daniel Martin 12th July 2009
Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils. Louis-Hector Berlioz

No man can be a good teacher unless he has feelings of warm affection toward his pupils and a genuine desire to impart to them what he believes to be of value. Bertrand Russell
Her pupils were at once her salvation and her despair. They gave her the means of supporting life, but they made life hardly worth supporting. P G Wodehouse
The educator must believe in the potential power of his pupil, and he must employ all his art in seeking to bring his pupil to experience this power. Alfred Adler
