Famous quotes containing the words latin american, latin, american and/or education:
“Americans living in Latin American countries are often more snobbish than the Latins themselves. The typical American has quite a bit of money by Latin American standards, and he rarely sees a countryman who doesnt. An American businessman who would think nothing of being seen in a sport shirt on the streets of his home town will be shocked and offended at a suggestion that he appear in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, in anything but a coat and tie.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
“OUR Latin books in motly row,
Invite us to our task
Gay Horace, stately Cicero:
Yet theres one verb, when once we know,
No higher skill we ask:
This ranks all other lore above
Weve learned Amare means to love!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“We are frequently told that talents and genius are natural gifts; and so indeed they are, to the same extent that the productions of the garden and the field are natural gifts.”
—U. R., U.S. womens magazine contributor. American Ladies Magazine, pp. 317-19 (June, 1829)
“If factory-labor is not a means of education to the operative of to-day, it is because the employer does not do his duty. It is because he treats his work-people like machines, and forgets that they are struggling, hoping, despairing human beings.”
