Famous quotes containing the words catholic and/or education:

    “A vegetarian is not a person who lives on vegetables, any more than a Catholic is a person who lives on cats.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
