Power Delivered

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or delivered:

“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)

“[I] delivered the Introduction of it to Baldwin, that I might say my book was at if not in the press on New Year’s Day.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
