"The mother is the first teacher of..." - Quote by Malcolm X

“A revolution is bloody. Revolution is hostile. Revolution knows no compromise. Revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way.”

“One of the first things I think young people, especially nowadays, should learn is how to see for yourself and listen for yourself and think for yourself. Then you can come to an intelligent decision for yourself. If you form the habit of going by what you hear others say about someone, or going by what others think about someone, instead of searching that thing out for yourself and seeing for yourself, you will be walking west when you think you're going east, and you will be walking east when you think you're going west.”

“I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence.”

“I've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.”

“Mothers are not the nameless, faceless stereotypes who appear once a year on a greeting card with their virtues set to prose, but women who have been dealt a hand for life and play each card one at a time the best way they know how. No mother is all good or all bad, all laughing or all serious, all loving or all angry. Ambivalence rushes through their veins.”

“This mother needs happy, reputable children, and that one needs unhappy ones: otherwise she cannot show her kindness as a mother.”

“The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.”

“But when all is said and done, the fact remains that some teachers have a naturally inspiring presence and can make their exercises interesting, whilst others simply cannot. And psychology and general pedagogy here confess their failure, and hand things over to the deeper spring of human personality to conduct the task.”

“Education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.”
