Famous quotes containing the words defence and/or council:

    “Education must have two foundations—morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defence for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    “Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.”
    —Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
