In the future, how we educate our children may prove to be more important than how much we educate them.

Thomas Friedman

Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price.

Victor Hugo

But if you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they've been brought there by no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart. We need to be educating these children, because they will become a drag on our society.

Rick Perry

You educate a boy, and he'll have fewer children, but it's a small effect. You educate a girl, and, on average, she will have a significantly smaller family.

Nicholas Kristof

Each generation is inclined to educate its young so as to get along in the present world instead of with a view to the proper end of education: the promotion of the best possible realization of humanity as humanity. Parents educate their children so that they may get on; princes educate their subjects as instruments of their own purpose.

John Dewey

If you educate a boy, you educate a person, but if you educate a girl, you educate a family and benefit an entire community.” An entire community - now that is really interesting! Then I found the quote changed a little more on the Kingdom of Jordan website by her Royal Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan during her interview with Oprah Winfrey. Queen Rania relates the quote in these words: “As you educate a woman, you educate the family. If you educate the girls, you educate the future.

Queen Rania of Jordan

We speak of educating our children. Do we know that our children also educate us?

Lydia Sigourney

Educate a man and you educate an individual. Educate a woman and you educate a family.

Arthur Shearly Cripps

I guess some of the most delightful moments of my teenage years were when I was trying not just to educate myself but trying to educate others. And I could see how the lives of children could be transformed in that.

Amartya Sen

Educate a woman and you educate her family. Educate a girl and you change the future.

Queen Rania of Jordan

If I had the choice of educating a boy or a girl, I would educate the girl. If you educate a boy, you educate one, but if you educate a girl, you educate a generation.

Brigham Young

I think if we can educate ourselves and educate our kids and educate guys in the NBA, we can remove assumptions. Once you remove those assumptions, I begin to understand someone else's background.

Monty Williams

When the poor know that their children will survive, when they educate their daughters, when they access family planning, they have fewer children.

Nicholas Kristof

Educate yourself on what's going on around the world where children are dying. Educate yourself on what's going on in Africa.

Sam Childers

Little children can learn anything, just as they can learn a foreign language. The mind is so absorbent then. There ought to be a real program to educate teachers who want to teach grade school children about history.

David McCullough

Black and Third World people are expected to educate white people as to our humanity. Women are expected to educate men. Lesbians and gay men are expected to educate the heterosexual world. The oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions. There is a constant drain of energy which might be better used in redefining ourselves and devising realistic scenarios for altering the present and constructing the future.

Audre Lorde
