Famous quotes containing the words major, programs and/or departments:

    “Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work or friendship—two of life’s major assets.”
    —Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)

    “Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
    —Barbara Bowman (20th century)

    “A man sees only what concerns him.... How much more, then, it requires different intentions of the eye and of the mind to attend to different departments of knowledge! How differently the poet and the naturalist look at objects!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
