Schoolmaster Quotes - page 2
The statistics show that a large majority die under five years of age. What would we think of a schoolmaster who killed the most of his pupils the first day?
Robert G. Ingersoll
Any non-commissioned officer is more of an enemy to a recruit, any schoolmaster to a pupil, then they are if they were free.
Erich Maria Remarque
I pay the schoolmaster, but tis the school boys that educate my son.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience, which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of life.
Horace
Schoolmaster: But God, whatever else He is, and of course He is everything else, is not a fool.
Alan Bennett
There is no man so fortunate that there shall not be by him when he is dying some who are pleased with what is going to happen. Suppose that he was a good and a wise man, will there not be at least some one to say to himself, Let us at last breathe freely, being relieved from this schoolmaster? It is true that he was harsh to none of us, but I perceive that he tacitly condemns us.-This is what is said of a good man. But in our own case how many other things are there for which there are many who wish to get rid of us.
Marcus Aurelius
[He was] the 12th of 13 children of a hard-drinking but charming coal miner in the village of Pontryhydfen, South Wales...At the age of 10, he was educated under the tutorship of a schoolmaster named Philip Burton who became his guardian and young Richard took his name.
Richard Burton
He was a singularly handsome man, and a great figurehead. But he was not popular. The undergraduates resented his treatment of them as schoolboys; he could not quite shake off the schoolmaster attitude of his Westminster days, and this led to some follies, and worse than follies. Rebellion was rife, the lecture room was gutted, and the furniture destroyed; a kettle of gunpowder with a fuse attached to it was hung upon the door of the deanery, but was fortunately discovered in time.
Henry George Liddell
