Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.
John Lubbock

I am a writer of books in retrospect. I talk in order to understand; I teach in order to learn.
Robert Frost

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.
Galileo Galilei

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.
Lao Tzu

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
Swami Vivekananda

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Henry David Thoreau
