Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “Our basic ideas about how to parent are encrusted with deeply felt emotions and many myths. One of the myths of parenting is that it is always fun and games, joy and delight. Everyone who has been a parent will testify that it is also anxiety, strife, frustration, and even hostility. Thus most major parenting- education formats deal with parental emotions and attitudes and, to a greater or lesser extent, advocate that the emotional component is more important than the knowledge.”
    —Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)

    “... the whole tenour of female education ... tends to render the best disposed romantic and inconstant; and the remainder vain and mean.”
    —Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

    “As for the graces of expression, a great thought is never found in a mean dress; but ... the nine Muses and the three Graces will have conspired to clothe it in fit phrase. Its education has always been liberal, and its implied wit can endow a college.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
