Famous quotes containing the words construction and/or planned:

    The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    Every day care center, whether it knows it or not, is a school. The choice is never between custodial care and education. The choice is between unplanned and planned education, between conscious and unconscious education, between bad education and good education.
