Famous quotes containing the words education and/or science:
“If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man’s future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual’s total development lags behind?”
—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
“Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey-cage.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
