Famous quotes containing the word teaching:

    The most important part of teaching = to teach what it is to know.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    Dogmatic toleration is nonsense: I would no more tolerate the teaching of Calvinism to children if I had power to persecute it than the British Raj tolerated suttee in India. Every civilized authority must draw a line between the tolerable and the intolerable.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    History is Philosophy teaching by examples.
    Thucydides (c. 460–400 B.C.)
