教師的職業是神聖的，也是辛苦的。幾乎每一位英語老師都有一個精神支柱般的座右銘，下面這十句最為經典：
1
A teacher touches lives forever.
老師影響學生的一生。
2
The limits of your language are the limits of your world.
語言的邊界就是你世界的邊界。
（你的語言能走多遠，你的世界就有多寬廣。）
3
Teachers are the architects of successful societies.

4
The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book.
最優秀的老師是從心裡教書，而不是照本宣科。

Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more.
好老師很貴，但壞老師更貴。
（壞老師造成的壞影響是金錢難以彌補的。）

Teachers make a difference!

The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate 「apparently ordinary」 people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people.
優秀老師的職責是激發 「看起來普通的」 學生，讓他們付出超常的努力。難的不是找出成功者，而是把普通學生激勵成成功者。
