Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or differences:
“... individual freedom and individual equality cannot co-exist. I dare say no one since Thomas Jefferson ... has really believed it.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
