Famous quotes containing the words schools, named and/or honor:

    “Good schools are schools for the development of the whole child. They seek to help children develop to their maximum their social powers and their intellectual powers, their emotional capacities, their physical powers.”
    —James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

    “Methinks it would be some advantage to philosophy if men were named merely in the gross, as they are known. It would be necessary only to know the genus and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual. We are not prepared to believe that every private soldier in a Roman army had a name of his own,—because we have not supposed that he had a character of his own.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Use every man after his desert, and who should scape whipping?
    Use them after your own honor and dignity—the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
