Famous quotes containing the words parent and/or education:
“It’s funny how you never meet a parent who rushes his child. That’s what other parents do. All we are doing is reacting to our child’s “natural” ability.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“The legislator should direct his attention above all to the education of youth; for the neglect of education does harm to the constitution. The citizen should be molded to suit the form of government under which he lives. For each government has a peculiar character which originally formed and which continues to preserve it. The character of democracy creates democracy, and the character of oligarchy creates oligarchy.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
