Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or john:

    My hand and pen are not in plight,
    As they have been of yore.
    Thomas Vaux, 2d Baron Vaux Of Harrowden (1510–1566)

    Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
