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

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

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

Queen Rania of Jordan

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

Arthur Shearly Cripps

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

We know that if you educate a girl, as the saying goes, you educate a nation. That girl will get married later, she will have fewer children, she's more likely to earn an income, and that income is more likely to be plowed back into the family so that the family benefits.

Educate a woman, you educate a nation.

Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka

When you educate a girl, you begin to change the face of a nation.

Oprah Winfrey

If you teach a boy, you educate an individual; but if you teach a girl, you educate a community.

Greg Mortenson

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

You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation.

Brigham Young

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.
