Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
    —H.G. (Herbert George)

    “If you complain of neglect of education in sons, what shall I say with regard to daughters, who every day experience the want of it? With regard to the education of my own children, I find myself soon out of my depth, destitute and deficient in every part of education. I most sincerely wish ... that our new Constitution may be distinguished for encouraging learning and virtue. If we mean to have heroes, statesmen, and philosophers, we should have learned women.”
    —Abigail Adams (1744–1818)

    “... in the education of women, the cultivation of the understanding is always subordinate to the acquirement of some corporeal accomplishment ...”
    —Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
