Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or stations:

    “The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. In our system, she must become a passive, much more than an active, influence, and her passivity shall be composed of anxious scientific curiosity and of absolute respect for the phenomenon which she wishes to observe. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon.”
    —Maria Montessori (1870–1952)

    “The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.”
    —William Jones (1746–1794)
