Happy Teacher's Day to all the teachers who have put in a lot of effort to make us who we are today. We owe our successes (and failures) to you :D
For those of you who are unaware of the significance of the teacher's day, it is celebrated on the birth date, [5 September 1888], of the first vice president of India and the second President of India, academic philosopher Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Radhakrishnan was a brilliant student from the very start and most of his studies were covered through scholarships. At the age of 21 years, he was selected as the assistant lecturer in Madras Presidency College. later he became the Vice Chancellor of Andhra University and Banaras Hindu University before being awarded with the Bharat Ratna in 1954.
This teachers' day is distinct from World Teachers' Day which is officially celebrated across the world on October 5.
Here are some of the quotes on teachers by some great personalities.

3. If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.~ Bill Gates
4. The teacher is the one who gets the most out of the lessons, and the true teacher is the learner.~ Elbert Hubbard, Philosopher
5. There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies. ~ Robert Frost, Poet
6. Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.~ Aristotle, Philosopher
