Famous quotes containing the words education, work and/or experience:
“A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“So your work and you shall reinforce yourself.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Most maxim-mongers have preferred the prettiness to the justness of a thought, and the turn to the truth; but I have refused myself to everything that my own experience did not justify and confirm.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
