Whitman/education

Famous quotes containing the words whitman and/or education:

    And over all the sky—the sky! far, far out of reach,
    studded, breaking out, the eternal stars.
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    I think the most important education that we have is the education which now I am glad to say is being accepted as the proper one, and one which ought to be widely diffused, that industrial, vocational education which puts young men and women in a position from which they can by their own efforts work themselves to independence.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
