Famous quotes containing the words education and/or award:
“Tell my son how anxious I am that he may read and learn his Book, that he may become the possessor of those things that a grateful country has bestowed upon his papa—Tell him that his happiness through life depends upon his procuring an education now; and with it, to imbibe proper moral habits that can entitle him to the possession of them.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
