"What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul." ― Joseph Addison Topic(s): Education Tags: sculpture More From Joseph Addison "Mutability of temper and inconsistency with ourselves is the greatest weakness of human nature." "Young men soon give, and soon forget, affronts; old age is slow in both." "Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!" More In Education "I’m not convinced that women have the education or the sense of their own history enough or that they understand the cruelty of which men are capable and the delight that many men will take in seeing you choose to chain yourself – then they get to say ‘See, you did it yourself.’"― Alice Walker "Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform, or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value."― Anita Roddick "But I like going to church. If you’ve been brought up in the Church of England, it feels like visiting an elderly relative. And I think it’s important that part of the kids’ education is knowing about the Bible."― Jack Dee
