Famous quotes containing the words world, war and/or production:

    Our Lord Jesus Christ, my brethren, is our hero, a hero all the world wants.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    In war personal revenge maintains its silence.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
