Quotes and Wisdom about Teaching: Quotations on Education

          It has been a long time since I posted about Teacher Wisdomedicine. For the information of everybody (who's everybody? LOL), this series of posts is all about empowering our teachers (as well as other people) about the noble task of the teaching profession. We can't ignore the fact that teaching really is a stressful job, and we can't blame teachers if they feel burned out. I hope that through these "inspiring" words, they may feel vitalized(sounds like vitamins...of course wisdoMEDICINE right?LOL) and still be inspired  to guide and mold the minds of our generation. I thank you...bow...These quotes by the way were retrieved from  http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/eduquote.htm ( If you...yes YOU, are the owner if this site and you don't want your site's content be posted here, kindly inform me and I will remove it as fast as I can.) Anyway, my gratitude for the the above link. Thank you. Please visit it if you want to read different quotes aside from education.
