Famous quotes containing the words community and/or school:

    “Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.”
    —John Lukacs (b. 1924)

    “A school is not a factory. Its raison d’être is to provide opportunity for experience.”
    —J.L. (James Lloyd)
