Educational Influence

Famous quotes containing the words educational and/or influence:

“The educational system in large countries will always be utterly mediocre, for the same reason that the cooking in large kitchens is mediocre at best.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Nature has taken more care than the fondest parent for the education and refinement of her children. Consider the silent influence which flowers exert, no less upon the ditcher in the meadow than the lady in the bower. When I walk in the woods, I am reminded that a wise purveyor has been there before me; my most delicate experience is typified there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
