Famous quotes containing the words policy and/or areas:

    “A policy is a temporary creed liable to be changed, but while it holds good it has got to be pursued with apostolic zeal.”
    —Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)

    “Helping children at a level of genuine intellectual inquiry takes imagination on the part of the adult. Even more, it takes the courage to become a resource in unfamiliar areas of knowledge and in ones for which one has no taste. But parents, no less than teachers, must respect a child’s mind and not exploit it for their own vanity or ambition, or to soothe their own anxiety.”
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
