Famous quotes containing the word advancement:

    The path of social advancement is, and must be, strewn with broken friendships.
    —H.G. (Herbert George)

    On fields all drenched with blood he made his record in war, abstained from lawless violence when left on the plantation, and received his freedom in peace with moderation. But he holds in this Republic the position of an alien race among a people impatient of a rival. And in the eyes of some it seems that no valor redeems him, no social advancement nor individual development wipes off the ban which clings to him.
    Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)

    There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words.
    Thomas Reid (1710–1769)
