Famous quotes containing the words education, economic and/or development:

    One is rarely an impulsive innovator after the age of sixty, but one can still be a very fine orderly and inventive thinker. One rarely procreates children at that age, but one is all the more skilled at educating those who have already been procreated, and education is procreation of another kind.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    The bourgeois takes economic power very seriously, and often worships it quite unselfishly.
    Nicolai A. Berdyaev (1874–1948)

    The highest form of development is to govern one’s self.
    Zerelda G. Wallace (1817–1901)
