Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “I say that male and female are cast in the same mold; except for education and habits, the difference is not great.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Those who first introduced compulsory education into American life knew exactly why children should go to school and learn to read: to save their souls.... Consistent with this goal, the first book written and printed for children in America was titled Spiritual Milk for Boston Babes in either England, drawn from the Breasts of both Testaments for their Souls’ Nourishment.”
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    “A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
