«As the true object of education is not to render the pupil the mere copy of his preceptor, it is rather to be rejoiced in, than lamented, that various reading should lead him into new trains of thinking. . . .»
«Competence is a narrow ideal. Competence makes the trains run on time but doesn't know where they're going.»
Author: George Bush (President) | Keywords: on time, run on, trains
«Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all.»
