Best-selling author, Robert D. Ramsey, offers a far-reaching collection of inspirational quotes, notes, anecdotes, reflections, testimonials, and tributes for teachers. The book's uplifting messages include time-tested traditional material, coupled with fresh insights from the famous, not-so-famous, and also unknown. Each page is packed with ideas and expressions proving, once and for all, that there is no such thing as "only a teacher".

All teachers (and those who want teachers to succeed) need a boost. This book delivers it!
