Famous quotes containing the words personal life, education, personal and/or life:

    The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The minutes wing’d their way wi’ pleasure:
    Kings may be blest, but Tam was glorious,
    O’er a’ the ills o’ life victorious!
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
