Ethics
Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The term ethics derives from Ancient Greek ἠθικός (ethikos), from ἦθος (ethos), meaning 'habit, custom'. The branch of philosophy axiology comprises the sub-branches of ethics and aesthetics, each concerned with values.
Teachers
Whoe'er excels in what we prize,
Appears a hero in our eyes;
Each girl, when pleased with what is taught,
Will have the teacher in her thought.

A blockhead with melodious voice,
In boarding-schools may have his choice.
Jonathan Swift, Cadenus and Vanessa, line 733.
Ethics
Strong ethics keep corporations healthy. Poor ethics make companies sick. Values are the immune system of every organisation.
Patrick Dixon, in Building a Better Business (2005), p. 131
Teachers
The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards; and curiosity itself can be vivid and wholesome only in proportion as the mind is contented and happy.
