The task of
the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to
irrigate deserts.
-- C. S. Lewis
1898-1963, British Academic,
Writer, Christian Apologist
Upon the
subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or
system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the
most important subject which we as a people may be engaged
in. That everyone may receive at least a moderate education
appears to be an objective of vital importance.
-- Abraham Lincoln
1809-1865, Sixteenth
President of the USA
Moral
education, as I understand it, is not about inculcating
obedience to law or cultivating self-virtue, it is rather
about finding within us an ever-increasing sense of the
worth of creation. It is about how we can develop and deepen
our intuitive sense of beauty and creativity.
-- Andrew Linzey
No amount of
charters, direct primaries, or short ballots will make a
democracy out of an illiterate people.
-- Walter Lippmann
1889-1974, American
Journalist
