Higher Education Supplement

Famous quotes containing the words higher, education and/or supplement:

    Thou shalt make thy house
    The temple of a nation’s vows.
    Spirits of a higher strain
    Who sought thee once shall seek again.
    I detected many a god
    Forth already on the road,
    Ancestors of beauty come
    In thy breast to make a home.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a “home” might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.
    Emily Post (1873–1960)
