Stop and search has a controversial history and has not always been carried out professionally by individual officers. Liberal-minded people are right to be wary about its overuse. However, it is also regarded by most people as a legitimate and necessary tactic.

Munira Mirza

There is a legitimate role for development education in the UK, but I do not believe these projects give the taxpayer value for money.

Andrew Mitchell

Pedagogy must be oriented not to the yesterday, but to the tomorrow of the child's development. Only then can it call to life in the process of education those processes of development which now lie in the zone of proximal development

Lev S. Vygotsky

A gesture cannot be regarded as the expression of an individual, as his creation (because no individual is capable of creating a fully original gesture, belonging to nobody else), nor can it even be regarded as that person's instrument; on the contrary, it is gestures that use us as their instruments, as their bearers and incarnations

Milan Kundera

The individual always realizes only one of the possibilities in its development, which could always have taken a different turning whenever it has to make an important decision.

Wilhelm Dilthey

The individual always realizes only one of the possibilities in his development, which could always have taken a different turning whenever he had to make an important decision.

Wilhelm Dilthey

Education and democracy have the same goal: the fullest possible development of human capabilities.

Paul Wellstone

The world has come around to the view that democracy is essential for full human development. And only education and skill development can make this possible.

Subramanian Swamy

If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?

Maria Montessori

I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.

Dalai Lama

In Burma, we need to improve education in the country - not only primary education, but secondary and tertiary education. Our education system is very very bad. But, of course, if you look at primary education, we have to think in terms of early childhood development that's going back to before the child is born - making sure the mother is well nourished and the child is properly nurtured.

Aung San Suu Kyi

The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursing his own education. This will not be a widely shared pursuit until we get over our odd conviction that education is what goes on in school buildings and nowhere else.

John W. Gardner

Anarchism, to me, means not only the denial of authority, not only a new economy, but a revision of the principles of morality. It means the development of the individual as well as the assertion of the individual. It means self-responsibility, and not leader worship.

Voltairine de Cleyre

The spiritual process is always individual. You may sit in a group, but only the individual can evolve, only the individual can liberate himself.

Jaggi Vasudev

The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursuing his education.

John W. Gardner

The individual who cultivates grievances, and who is perpetually exacting explanations of his assumed wrongs, can only be ignored, and left to the education of time and of development.... One does not argue or contend with the foul miasma that settles over stagnant water; one leaves it and climbs to a higher region, where the air is pure and the sunshine fair.
