Term Ends

Famous quotes containing the words term and/or ends:

    The term preschooler signals another change in our expectations of children. While toddler refers to physical development, preschooler refers to a social and intellectual activity: going to school. That shift in emphasis is tremendously important, for it is at this age that we think of children as social creatures who can begin to solve problems.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    Great Negative, how vainly would the Wise
    Enquire, define, distinguish, teach, devise,
    Didst thou not stand to point their dull Philosophies?
    Is, or is not, the two great Ends of Fate,
    And, true or false, the Subject of Debate,
    That perfect, or destroy, the vast Designs of Fate,
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1909–1969)
