Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “The Republican form of government is the highest form of government; but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature—a type nowhere at present existing.”
    —Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)

    “Whoever denies that he possesses vanity generally possesses it in so brutal a form that he instinctively shuts his eyes in its presence, so as not to have to look down upon himself.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Quintilian [educational writer in Rome around A.D. 100] thought that the earliest years of the child’s life were crucial. Education should start earlier than age seven, within the family. It should not be so hard as to give the child an aversion to learning. Rather, these early lessons would take the form of play—that embryonic notion of kindergarten.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
