State School State

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or school:

    In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one’s parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as “self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.”
    C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    The problem for the King is just how strict
    The lack of liberty, the squeeze of the law
    And discipline should be in school and state....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
