How to use schoolmaster in a sentence?

1. Antiphanes:

   Poverty is the schoolmaster of character.

2. Dr Kwakkel:

   I found one that is obviously a drawing of the face of a schoolmaster. You can recognize him from the teacher's hat on his head, it was obviously drawn by a student in class, seven centuries ago.

3. H. L. Mencken:

   The truth is that the average schoolmaster, on all the lower levels, is and always must be essentially and next door to an idiot, for how can one imagine an intelligent man engaging in so puerile an avocation?

4. Walter Bagehot:

   A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself.
