Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)

    “... all education must be unsound which does not propose for itself some object; and the highest of all objects must be that of living a life in accordance with God’s Will.”
    —Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
