Individual Differences

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or differences:

    “Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.”
    —George F. Will (b. 1941)

    “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)
