Famous quotes containing the words foundations, current and/or schools:
“Neutrality is a negative word. It does not express what America ought to feel.... We are not trying to keep out of trouble; we are trying to preserve the foundations on which peace may be rebuilt.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“It is too late in the century for women who have received the benefits of co-education in schools and colleges, and who bear their full share in the world’s work, not to care who make the laws, who expound and who administer them.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
