Famous quotes containing the word education:

    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “I would urge that the yeast of education is the idea of excellence, and the idea of excellence comprises as many forms as there are individuals, each of whom develops his own image of excellence. The school must have as one of its principal functions the nurturing of images of excellence.”
    —Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)

    “Very likely education does not make very much difference.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
