This page lists my favorite quotes about teaching.
I would love to be a teacher, because I have realized the importance of being a great teacher from my great teachers and mentors I have met in my life. So I have been learning and observing how to teach well. I have been inspired from those quotes, so I would like to share them with those who would like to improve their teaching skills.
