Famous quotes containing the word education:
“What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.”

“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
“With a generous endowment of motherhood provided by legislation, with all laws against voluntary motherhood and education in its methods repealed, with the feminist ideal of education accepted in home and school, and with all special barriers removed in every field of human activity, there is no reason why woman should not become almost a human thing. It will be time enough then to consider whether she has a soul.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
