I believe in outgrowing a mentor and getting a new one, and I think that you can never be too old to be schooled by your mentor.

— Troy Carter

Gabby Giffords was a mentor of mine in the state Legislature and also in Congress.

— Ann Kirkpatrick

A strong mentor can help a young woman find and advance in the career of her dreams that otherwise may have seemed impossible.

— Kirsten Gillibrand

There were times when I asked myself whether I was being principled or simply a coward…. I was wrapped in the cocoon of tennis early in life, mainly by blacks like my most powerful mentor, Dr. Robert Walter Johnson of Lynchburg, Virginia. They insisted that I be unfailingly polite on the court, unfalteringly calm and detached, so that whites could never accuse me of meanness. I learned well. I look at photographs of the skinny, frail, little black boy that I was in the early 1950s, and I see that I was my tennis racquet and my tennis racquet was me. It was my rod and my staff.

— Arthur Ashe

There are moments as a teacher when I’m conscious that I’m trotting out the same exact phrase my professor used with me years ago. It’s an eerie feeling, as if my old mentor is not just in the room, but in my shoes, using me as his mouthpiece.

— Abraham Verghese

My mentor. . . showed me that, when things go sideways, blame has no place in the room.

— Chris Ciulla

While I made my living as a coach, I have lived my life to be a mentor-and to be mentored!-constantly.Everything in the world has been passed down. Every piece of knowledge is something that has been shared by someone else. If you understand it as I do, mentoring becomes your true legacy. It is the greatest inheritance you can give to others. It is why you get up every day-to teach and be taught.

— John Wooden

I don’t want to be a mentor in my bedroom.

— Ellen Barkin

Hillary Clinton was a hugely important mentor for me. I don’t talk to her every day, but sometimes mentorship means being able to watch somebody’s leadership from afar.

— Reshma Saujani

Harvey Korman was like a private tutor to me. He was such a mentor.

— Vicki Lawrence

Cooking is in an honest profession where you cannot hide and let others do the work for you. You have to show up, work hard and prove you can do it faster and better. And find a mentor who will recognize your talent and push you in the right direction.

— Marcus Samuelsson

A young girl reached out to me to be her mentor one day, which I didn’t really know anything about. What I did remember was what it was to be alone as an African-American dancer in the ballet world and wanting to connect with someone who looks like me.

— Misty Copeland

It’s deeper than the music when it comes to me and Mustard. He’s like a big brother, and I’m so thankful to have a mentor like him to advise me. Even though he gives me a lot of creative control, I always go to him like, ‘Do you like this?’ It’s so cool that it’s always a collaborative effort. He never makes me feel pressured or anything.

— Ella Mai

Real mentoring is less of neither the candid smile nor the amicable friendship that exists between the mentor and the mentee and much more of the impacts. The indelible great footprints the mentor live on the mind of the mentee in a life changing way. How the mentor changes the mentee from ordinariness to extra-ordinariness; the seed of purposefulness that is planted and nurtured for great fruits; the payer from afar from the mentor to the mentee; and the great inspirations the mentee takes from the mentor to dare unrelentingly to face the storms regardless of how arduous the errand may be with or without the presence of the mentor.

— Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

I don’t really have a mentor.

— Giles Deacon

My mentor, [Ingmar] Bergman, when we worked on stage, he said you can’t convince a thousand people at the big stage where we were working. You can’t convince everybody, but just pick one every night that you perform for and make sure that he or she will have an experience that alters their life in a more positive way. So, just one every night. That’s worth all the struggle and screaming.

— Peter Stormare

Before WeWork, I had a baby clothing company. When I started out, I had no real contacts in the garment business and no mentor to guide me on how things worked. I just had an idea to put pads on the baby clothes on to protect the baby’s knees.

— Adam Neumann

In the world of comics, Jack Kirby and Will Eisner may have been more influential artists, but Joe Kubert was its most influential man. Even if he were to be remembered solely for his body of illustration work, he’d still be one of the greats, but by opening the Kubert School in 1976, he was able to personally mentor and educate literally thousands of successful artists who owe their careers to his teachings.

— Mark Waid

The worst mistake a leader can make is to mentor no one, choose no successor and leave no legacy.

— Myles Munroe

You can only mentor somebody if they want to be.

— Phil Ramone

The passion/hunger of the student brings out the experience/wisdom of the mentor.

— Orrin Woodward

Engage, educate, equip, encourage, empower, energize, and elevate. Those are the methods for maximizing the potential of any individual, team, organization, or institution for ultimate success and significance. Those are the methods of a mentor leader.

— Tony Dungy

What the great mentor is always looking for is a person who is willing to tap his genius, to put it through the refiner’s fire, to do the hard work to develop it. Indeed, mentoring is the medieval art of alchemy-turning plain old human steel into hearts and minds of gold.

— Oliver DeMille

I applaud Women in Film – not only for celebrating the successes of women, but for providing a safety network to mentor women and to discuss the particular issues that arise in a very male-dominated industry.

— Cate Blanchett

I look up to people that are much older than me, so being a mentor is a full time job.

— Nicole Trunfio

Young people often aren’t in a position to write checks to charities. But there are two things they can do that are invaluable. One is volunteering, especially mentoring other young people with reading, math or help thinking about college. Through iMentor, one can even mentor people online.

— Nicholas Kristof

A good mentor offers directions and driving tips from the back seat. You still have to drive the car.

— Michael Johnson

What is desired is that the teacher ceased being a lecturer, satisfied with transmitting ready-made solutions. His role should rather be that of a mentor stimulating initiative and research.

— Jean Piaget

A lot of DJs who started the same time as me, they are not to be seen anymore. And I get so much love and respect from the young DJs, and some of them look up to me or ask me for advice. I am almost like the mentor.

— Tiesto

I only act in films where I’ve got an A-lister as my mentor.

— Taron Egerton
