Which of us didn't go to school? Everyone went through it and came away with different experiences and memories. Therefore, over the history of mankind, many aphorisms have been created about school and teachers, which have become over time.

How did aphorisms about teachers appear?

As you know, pedagogy as a science originated in ancient times, and this happened in Ancient Greece, which became famous for centuries as the source of true wisdom.

Great philosophers often turned to understanding the role of the teacher in the human world, many of their quotes became aphorisms. Greek aphorisms about teachers are famous for the depth of their thought and its beauty.

At the same time, aphorisms about teachers began to appear among other nations, who also paid great attention to the education of the younger generation. These are Eastern aphorisms, which are distinguished by their special understanding of man’s place in the world of people, and Western European aphorisms, which understand the matter of upbringing and education as the most important task facing society.

Ancient aphorisms

The famous orator Socrates said that there is no more difficult task on earth than raising a real person. His devoted student - Plato - noticed that the education of personality begins from the very birth of a person and ends only after his death.

Plato's most famous student, the sage Aristotle (who was the mentor of the formidable Alexander the Great), said that it is first necessary to give children knowledge, and then develop the necessary skills in them. Aristotle also asked his students to remember that in education it is important to remember three things: abilities or gifts, knowledge and constant exercise.

No less famous are aphorisms about teachers written by Roman thinkers. For example, Cato liked to repeat that only a person whose deeds and words coincide can be called a true teacher, and Seneca, the most famous sage of the decline of the Roman Empire, added that the calling of a teacher is very difficult, so if the gods want to punish you, they will make you a teacher .

Eastern aphorisms

Eastern sages also paid attention to the matter of upbringing and education. Eastern ones are full of subtle humor and skillful mentoring.

For example, the founder of Buddhism, Prince Gautama, who became the Enlightened Buddha, said that a teacher is obliged to give all his knowledge to his students, leaving nothing for himself. The Chinese sage, the great Confucius, whose name is still sacred to any representative of this nation, believed that the calling of a teacher is the highest calling on Earth. At the same time, he noted that only fools or people overly burdened with knowledge are not amenable to learning.

There are Eastern aphorisms about teachers who view their work as a heavy duty. Thus, there is a well-known Persian proverb that goes something like this: “If God listened to all the prayers of children, all the 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.

European aphorisms of modern times

Schooling was actively developing in modern Europe, which became the basis for the creation of new aphorisms about teachers.

Aphorisms about learning and teachers were written by 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 teaching themselves. Thomas Fuller, addressing teachers, pathetically exclaimed: “Having knowledge, do not skimp on children lighting their candles from your torch!”

Jean-Jacques Rousseau also became famous for his statements addressed to teachers. In particular, he called on teachers not to hammer certain knowledge into children’s heads, but to strive to ensure that children acquire this knowledge on their own. 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 Disterweg, who wrote that a bad teacher can only teach to remember the truth, but a good one helps children find it themselves.

The same Diesterweg, not without irony, noted that one cannot become a true teacher by mastering a certain number of sciences, one can only be born one.

European aphorisms of modern times

Among the European aphorisms of modern times about teachers, the following can be especially clearly distinguished. As Samuel Butler notes, there are two types of teachers: the first teach a lot, and the second teach nothing at all.

Henry Adams says that every teacher touches eternity in his work, notes that a teacher grows two thoughts in a child, but before she grew there alone.

He 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, students eat what their teachers digest for them.

Contemporary writer Paulo Coelho notes that the role of a teacher in the world is enormous. Only those who have endured trials on the spiritual path, have gained patience and courage to accept all events in their life without judgment, can receive a true teacher as a gift from heaven.

William Ward notes that a great teacher inspires his students to do great things.

Russian aphorisms about teachers

Russian aphorisms about school and teachers are varied. We all know the words of A.S. Pushkin, who noted that “we all learned little by little... something and somehow....”.

Among Russian philosophers and writers, Leo Tolstoy became famous for such aphoristic statements about pedagogy. His statements were beautiful. Let us convey their main essence. In particular, Tolstoy wrote that only a person with certain character traits and a calling for this field of work can be a teacher. Tolstoy also, with the help of an aphorism, deduces the formula of a real teacher; he says that such a teacher loves his children like a parent, and he also loves his job.

At the same time, the philosopher notes that it may be easy for a teacher to teach his students, but, as a rule, this learning is always difficult for them.

Characteristic of Russian pedagogical thought is an appeal to the importance of the teacher’s personality in the matter of education. Dmitry Pisarev points to this, noting that everything in raising children depends on the personality of the teacher himself. He is echoed by someone who notes that to become a good teacher, it is important to love your students and love your science.

The most beautiful aphorisms about teachers: a brief overview

Istria offers us many beautiful aphorisms about teachers. Let's take a closer look at them.

An example of such a statement is the words of R. Emerson 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 that lies on the teacher is so heavy that it can only be compared with cosmic overload.

K. Marx also, not without humor, beautifully notes that any educator, when starting to fulfill his professional duties, must also be educated at the proper level.

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

And finally, W. Churchill once allowed himself to notice that a school teacher always has more power than the prime minister. This paradoxical and beautiful statement pleased his voters and became an aphorism.

The most memorable aphorisms

There are also students who have gained wide popularity. For example, the statement attributed to Otto von Bismarck that all wars are won not by generals or their armies, but by teachers.

No less famous are Bernard Shaw's statements that everyone who knows how to do something in life fulfills their duties, and those who don't know how to do anything become teachers.

L. Sukhorukov ironically notes that for our children the best teachers will not be their parents, but their own children.

Konstantin Simonov rightly says that the difference between an educated and educated person and an uneducated and uneducated person is that an educated person continues to consider his education incomplete all his life, so he strives for new knowledge.

Aphorisms about teachers are offered in a variety of ways. Humorous, realistic, rhetorical - for every taste. There are aphorisms about teachers, about high school teachers, about university professors, etc. But the most important thing in these statements is the understanding of the greatest role that belongs to the teacher in the world of people.

Let the child's first lesson be obedience. Then the second one can be what you consider necessary. Franklin B.

The teacher himself must be educated. Marks K.

Education is a great thing: it decides a person’s fate. Belinsky V. G.

The secret of successful parenting lies in respect for the student. Emerson W.

Both upbringing and education are inseparable. You cannot educate without passing on knowledge; all knowledge has an educational effect. Tolstoy L. N.

If nature overshadows education in a person, the result is a savage, and if education overshadows nature, the result is a scholar of the scriptures. Only one in whom nature and education are in balance can be considered a worthy husband. Confucius

It is pointless for a teacher to talk about curbing passions if he gives free rein to any of his own passions; and his efforts to eradicate in his pupil a vice or obscene trait that he allows in himself will be fruitless. John London

There is no such bad person whom good education could not make better. Belinsky V. G.

Good upbringing most reliably protects a person from those who are poorly brought up. Chesterfield F.

The whole purpose of education is to make a person not only do good, but also enjoy good; not only to work, but also to love work. Ruskin D.

Nine-tenths of the people we meet are what they are - good or evil, useful or useless - thanks to their upbringing. John Locke

Essentially, we learn throughout our lives. Some from their own experience, some from the mistakes of others. Ideally, it is better to meet a wise mentor. It’s great if this meeting happens in childhood, when habits and character are just being formed.

A teacher who loves his profession is able to direct a child’s interests in the right direction and instill the necessary skills for building a happy life. At the same time, the teacher himself must constantly replenish his knowledge and update the information stored in his head. Science does not stand still. And if you don’t improve, then schoolchildren and students will prefer the Internet to such a mentor.
