From President Monson:
   
"As we teach others, may we follow the example of the perfect teacher, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He left His footprints in the sands of the seashore but left His teaching principles in the hearts and in the lives of all whom He taught. He instructed His disciples of that day—and to us He speaks the same words—'Follow thou me' (John 21:22). May we go forward in the spirit of obedient response, that it may be said of each of us as it was spoken of the Redeemer, 'Thou art a teacher come from God' (John 3:2)."—President Thomas S. Monson

Coming to Christ   
  
“We are all teachers. We should ever remember that we not only teach with words; we teach also by who we are and how we live our lives. As we teach others, may we follow the example of the perfect teacher, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”—Thomas S. Monson   
  
“For each of us to ‘come unto Christ,’ to keep His commandments and follow His example back to the Father is surely the highest and holiest purpose of human existence. To help others do that as well—to teach, persuade, and prayerfully lead them to walk that path of redemption also—surely that must be the second most significant task in our lives.”—Jeffrey R. Holland   
  
“There is neither man or woman in this Church who is not on a mission. That mission will last as long as they live, and it is to do good, to promote righteousness, to teach the principles of truth, and to prevail upon themselves and everybody around them to live those principles that they may obtain eternal life.”—Brigham Young   
  
Teaching by the Spirit   
  
“It is the plainest and the most simple things that edify us the most, if taught by the Spirit of God; and there is nothing more important or beneficial unto us.”—Wilford Woodruff   
  
“No earthly argument, no earthly reasoning can open the minds of intelligent beings and show them heavenly things; that can only be done by the Spirit of revelation.”—Brigham Young   
  
“No man, in this or any other generation, is able to teach and edify the inhabitants of the earth without the inspiration of the Spirit of God.”—Brigham Young   
  
"They may forget what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel."—Carol Buchner   
  
Teaching What You Are   
  
“The great influencing factor in the class room is the teacher, his personality, what he thinks, not just what he says, but what he is, really and truly in his heart—this is what influences his students.”—David O. McKay   
  
“What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches.”—Karl Menninger   
  
“We must be the change we wish to see.”—Mohandas Gandhi    
    
 “If you want to lift another soul, you yourself must be standing on higher ground.”—Harold B. Lee   
  
“No printed word, nor spoken plea
Can teach young minds what they should be.
Not all the books on all the shelves—
But what the teachers are themselves.”           
 —Rudyard Kipling    
  
Teaching through Love   
     
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."—Benjamin Franklin   
  
“Nothing is so much calculated to lead people to forsake sin as to take them by the hand, and watch over them with tenderness. When persons manifest the least kindness and love to me, O what power it has over my mind, while the opposite course has a tendency to harrow up all the harsh feelings and depress the human mind.”—Joseph Smith   
  
“The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil.”—Ralph Waldo Emerson   
  
"An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child."—Carl Gustav Yung   
  
Affecting Eternity  
  
“No greater responsibility can rest upon any [person] than to be a teacher of God’s children.”—David O. McKay   
  
“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell, where his influence stops.”—Henry Brooks Adams    
   
“I touch the future. I teach.”—Christa McAuliffe
