Famous quotes containing the word education:

—David Elkind (20th century)
“A good education is another name for happiness.”
—Ann Plato (1820–?)
“Statecraft is soulcraft. Just as all education is moral education because learning conditions conduct, much legislation is moral legislation because it conditions the action and the thought of the nation in broad and important spheres of life.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
