Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or ranks:

    “Virtue and vice suppose the freedom to choose between good and evil; but what can be the morals of a woman who is not even in possession of herself, who has nothing of her own, and who all her life has been trained to extricate herself from the arbitrary by ruse, from constraint by using her charms?... As long as she is subject to man’s yoke or to prejudice, as long as she receives no professional education, as long as she is deprived of her civil rights, there can be no moral law for her!”
    —Flora Tristan (1803–1844)

    “Next to our free political institutions, our free public-school system ranks as the greatest achievement of democratic life in America ...”
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
