"Schools have not necessarily much to do..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.”

“The is always much to be said for not attempting more than you can do and for making a certainty of what you try. But this principle, like others in life and war, has it exceptions.”

“Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free, and life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fall, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age... Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'”

“Every time someone turns on a TV, I go in the other room and read.”

“No brain, no gain. Stay in school.”

“Teaching is not filling up a pail, it is lighting a fire.”

“The promotion of "self-esteem" in our schools has been so successful that people feel free to spout off about all sorts of things - and see no reason why their opinions should not be taken as seriously as the views of people who actually know what they are talking about.”

“Public school system status quo is indefensible.”

“The Schools ain't what they used to be and never was.”
