—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Vacations prove that a life of pleasure is overrated.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Every day care center, whether it knows it or not, is a school. The choice is never between custodial care and education. The choice is between unplanned and planned education, between conscious and unconscious education, between bad education and good education.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
