School Retrieved August

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or august:

    ... the school should be an appendage of the family state, and modeled on its primary principle, which is, to train the ignorant and weak by self-sacrificing labor and love; and to bestow the most on the weakest, the most undeveloped, and the most sinful.
    Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)

    What an occupation! To sit and flay your fellow men and then offer their skins for sale and expect them to buy them.
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
