Hear, O seekers of wisdom, the humble words of Clay Aiken: “But I was going to be a teacher my entire life, so I wasn’t counting on money too much.” In this confession lies a noble truth: that the calling of the teacher is not bound to riches or worldly rewards, but to service, to sacrifice, and to the eternal shaping of souls. Aiken reminds us that there are paths in life chosen not for gold, but for purpose, not for acclaim, but for the quiet joy of giving.

For the teacher’s life has never been one of abundance in coin. From ancient times to now, those who devote themselves to guiding the young often labor in modest means. Yet their wealth is not measured in possessions, but in the light they kindle in the eyes of their students. To declare, as Aiken does, that he did not count on money is to declare that his heart was already set on a higher treasure: the transformation of lives, the planting of seeds that would

I had a Spanish teacher in high school. I rarely got in trouble in her room because I felt I was disappointing her if I got a bad grade. That had more power over me than teachers who told me I talked too much. That level of respect I had for her made me not want to fail for her.

I want to make sure that no matter how long I go through this, I don't fall into the trap of changing and modifying how I do things that aren't a positive example. I want to remain somebody that the entire family can listen to or watch.

Well, financially it's a little bit better. But it's better than than when I was a teacher. But I kind of - it's allowed me to buy a house. And I've been able to help my mother with some stuff and my brother. So, that's nice.

Mahatma Gandhi

I eat tons, three full meals a day, and I never go to the gym. When I was a child, my geography teacher said, 'You may be slim now but if you carry on eating like that, you'll end up being really fat.' Fortunately, I really don't think I've changed much in the past two decades, so that teacher was an idiot.

Jesus isn't lettin' you off the hook. The Scriptures don't let you off the hook so easily... When people say, you know, 'Good teacher', 'Prophet', 'Really nice guy' ... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself.

Bono

I tend to think of a myth and then explore how it would play out if it were happening in the modern-day world. I modify all the myths I use, but I stick very closely to their structure - it is the hidden teacher in me.

Rick Riordan

As a former high school teacher, I know that investing in education is one of the most important things we can do, not only for our children, but for the benefit of our whole community.

Ed Pastor

My teacher told me I'd never amount to anything. I left high school at 15, after one year. But my real teachers were all the people around me. And I was a good listener.

Curtis Mayfield

There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.

Allan Bloom

I could never have pictured myself writing a book when I was 25 years old. My mom was an English teacher but I wasn't that way growing up.
