My Favorite quotes

   Personally, I have a weakness for quotes. Do you share my weakness? I can read pages and pages of quotes without getting bored. I feel that they teach me a lot about the person, the matter, the subject am interested in. More than this, Whenever I read quotes, I do unconsciously switch to a reflective mode. Does this happen to you, too? 
Below,  I am sharing with you some of my favorite quotes, which are revolving around teaching. Whch one do you agree with? Which one do you think it is not YOU? Hope to hear your thoughts and comments!
