"Teachers, who educate children, deserve more honour..." - Quote by Aristotle

“If, therefore, there is any one superior in virtue and in the power of performing the best actions, him we ought to follow and obey, but he must have the capacity for action as well as virtue.”

“The life of children, as much as that of intemperate men, is wholly governed by their desires.”

“But since there is but one aim for the entire state, it follows that education must be one and the same for all, and that the responsibility for it must be a public one, not the private affair which it now is, each man looking after his own children and teaching them privately whatever private curriculum he thinks they ought to study.”

“The colleges of Edinburgh and Geneva as seminaries of science, are considered as the two eyes of Europe. While Great Britain and America give the preference to the former, all other countries give it to the latter.”

“The scholar may lose himself in schools, in words, and become a pedant; but when he comprehends his duties, he above all men is arealist, and converses with things.”

“There is no better way to exercise the imagination than the study of the law.”

“When I was a kid I got no respect. I told my mother, I'm gonna run away from home. She said, On your mark.”

“My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet.”

“I was an ugly child. I got lost on the beach. I asked a cop if he could find my parents. He said, 'I don't know. There's lots of places for them to hide'.”
