Famous quotes containing the words education and, education, military and/or service:
“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.

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.”

—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“O good old man, how well in thee appears
The constant service of the antique world,
When service sweat for duty, not for meed!”
