History does not have so many knights of pedagogy, such Teachers whom thousands ofstudents are grateful to, whose names are carved on the tables of human memory. Yanush Korchakand Oleksandr Zaharenko are among them, they were eager to do good to the people, they gavelives for the humanity, for the happiness of everybody. The courseы of life of two prominentTeachers is discussed in the article, the professional credos of prominent teachers-humanists aresingled out. We cited a famous French writer-humanist Saint-Exupery in the epigraph.In our opinion, his quotation is a professional credo of all famous teachers’ humanists. Besides,these Fox’s words (the character from “Little Prince”) appear to be the combined motto of severalteachers humanists, namely: a Polish educator Yanush Korchak who was announced an Educatorof 1979 by UNESCO; a Ukrainian pedagogue Anton Makarenko, announced an Educator of 2008by UNESCO; a prominent educator and a great teacher-humanist Olexandr Zaharenko, anacademician from Sahnivka, a small village in Cherkasy region.
