Endeavour/schools

Famous quotes containing the words endeavour and/or schools:

“We endeavour more that men should speak of us, than how and what they speak, and it sufficeth us that our name run in men’s mouths, in what manner soever. It seemeth that to be known is in some sort to have life and continuance in other men’s keeping.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“The shrewd guess, the fertile hypothesis, the courageous leap to a tentative conclusion—these are the most valuable coin of the thinker at work. But in most schools guessing is heavily penalized and is associated somehow with laziness.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (b. 1915)
