Famous quotes containing the words education, military and/or service:
“Our basic ideas about how to parent are encrusted with deeply felt emotions and many myths. One of the myths of parenting is that it is always fun and games, joy and delight. Everyone who has been a parent will testify that it is also anxiety, strife, frustration, and even hostility.

—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)

—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“The Service without Hope

...
There is no Diligence like that
That knows not an Until—”
—Emily Dickinson (1831–1886)
