Quotations for Teachers

I have been a collector of quotations for what seems like ages! I remember my fourth grade teacher would start off each morning with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a daily quote read by a different student each day. She had this HUGE book, full of quotations and short poems. I thought that was the most amazing book I had ever seen! With that thought in mind, I would like to dedicate this page of Education Quotes to my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Cross.
