A good, very good, not to say admirable schoolmaster, but then he is only a schoolmaster.

Of his headmaster at Charterhouse, Dr. Russell; p.31Henry George Liddell
» Henry George Liddell - all quotes »
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
Schoolmaster: But God, whatever else He is, and of course He is everything else, is not a fool.
Alan Bennett
I expect you'll be becoming a schoolmaster, sir. That's what most of the gentlemen does, sir, that gets sent down for indecent behaviour.
Evelyn Waugh
In every French village there is now a lighted torch, the schoolmaster; and a mouth trying to blow it out, the priest.
Victor Hugo
Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army. If we retrench the wages of the schoolmaster, we must raise those of the recruiting sergeant.
