Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “There are words in that letter to his wife, respecting the education of his daughters, which deserve to be framed and hung over every mantelpiece in the land. Compare this earnest wisdom with that of Poor Richard.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “I envy neither the heart nor the head of any legislator who has been born to an inheritance of privileges, who has behind him ages of education, dominion, civilization, and Christianity, if he stands opposed to the passage of a national education bill, whose purpose is to secure education to the children of those who were born under the shadow of institutions which made it a crime to read.”
    —Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)
