"In England, literary pretence is more universal than elsewhere from our method of education." ― James Payn Topic(s): Education More From James Payn "And what holds good of verse holds infinitely better in respect to prose." "How large and varied is the educational bill of fare set before every young gentleman in Great Britain; and to judge by the mental stamina it affords him in most cases, what a waste of good food it is!" "For my part, I do not feel that the scheme of future happiness, which ought by rights to be in preparation for me, will be at all interfered with by my not meeting again the man I have in my. mind." More In Education "Our solution on ‘The Simpsons’ is to do jokes that people who have an education, or some frame of reference, can get. And for the ones who don’t, it doesn’t matter, because we have Homer banging his head and saying, ‘D’oh!’"― Matt Groening "Responsibility educates."― Wendell Phillips "The so-called modern education, with all its defects, however, does others so much more good than it does the Negro, because it has been worked out in conformity to the needs of those who have enslaved and oppressed weaker peoples."― Carter G. Woodson
