“To feel oneself loved and understood through all the waywardness of childhood is an inalienable right of every child.”
-Patty Smith Hill
“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.”
-Lyndon B. Johnson
I love these quotes. They are so powerful and true. It ia amazing how words can touch people's lives no matter what field of education they are working in. Thanks for sharing such inspirational quotes.
ReplyDeleteParker, both quotes you chose were definitely great! I agree that all children deserve and have the absolute right to be loved regardless of what life may have thrown at them. Children do not ask to be brought into this world but once they arrive they do deserve the best of treatment (Love, Respect, Kindness).
ReplyDeleteParker, these quotes are very timely and important with regards to what is happening in today's world. With more countries fighting towards democracy, what comes after becomes so crucial and something like Education comes to the forefront immediately in these nations, and needless to say, in the ones that are already democratic!
ReplyDeleteAlso the quote about inalienable right of a child is so true but so far from reality. The hope is that we close that gap and every person's effort towards that goal will make it that much closer to reality! Thanks for sharing these beautiful well-chosen quotes!
