Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “We find that the child who does not yet have language at his command, the child under two and a half, will be able to cooperate with our education if we go easy on the “blocking” techniques, the outright prohibitions, the “no’s” and go heavy on “substitution” techniques, that is, the redirection or certain impulses and the offering of substitute satisfactions.”
    —Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    “... in the education of women, the cultivation of the understanding is always subordinate to the acquirement of some corporeal accomplishment ...”
    —Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

    “Shakespeare, with an improved education and in a more enlightened age, might easily have attained the purity and correction of Racine; but nothing leads one to suppose that Racine in a barbarous age would have attained the grandeur, force and nature of Shakespeare.”
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
