Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “If the education and studies of children were suited to their inclinations and capacities, many would be made useful members of society that otherwise would make no figure in it.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    “Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.”
    —June Jordan (b. 1939)

    “One of the benefits of a college education is, to show the boy its little avail.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
