Famous quotes containing the words amazing and/or educated:
“Adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed.

“Trees not trimmed don’t make good timber; children not educated don’t make useful people.”
—Chinese proverb.
