Famous quotes containing the words birth and/or education:
“For birth was a disease and Christopher and I invented the cure.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
