"Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom." ― George Washington Carver Topic(s): Education More From George Washington Carver "Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God." "Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise." "Our creator is the same and never changes despite the names given Him by people here and in all parts of the world. Even if we gave Him no name at all, He would still be there, within us, waiting to give us good on this earth." More In Education "At any rate, girls are differently situated. Having no need of deep scientific knowledge, their education is confined more to the ordinary things of the world, the study of the fine arts, and of the manners and dispositions of people."― William John Wills "I’m no politician. I’m an historian who has learned through a lifetime of studying that nothing in the world beats universal education."― Stephen Ambrose "I pledge to you today that as president, in my first budget, I will introduce the largest increase in special education ever."― Al Gore
