“Not the children of the rich or of the powerful only, but of all alike, boys and girls, both noble and ignoble, rich and poor, in all cities and towns, villages and hamlets, should be sent to school. Education is indeed necessary for all, and this is evident if we consider the different degrees of ability. No one doubts that those who are stupid need instruction, that they may shake off their natural dullness. But in reality those who are clever need it far more, since an active mind, if not occupied with useful things, will busy itself with what is useless, curious, and pernicious.” IfsNeedsShouldMindMayChildrenDifferentRealitySchoolGirlNaturalAbilityPoorPowerfulCitiesBoysRichDoubtStupidDegreesTownsBusyActiveNobleCleverCuriousUselessShakesVillageInstructionEvidentRich And PoorBoy And GirlPerniciousDullnessSchool EducationIgnobleUseful ThingsActive MindsCities And Towns Author:John Amos Comenius
“We are all citizens of one world, we are all of one blood. To hate people because they were born in another country, because they speak a different language, or because they take a different view on this subject or that, is a great folly. Desist, I implore you, for we are all equally human. . . . Let us have but one end in view: the welfare of humanity.” PeopleWorldHumansDifferentEndsCountryHateHumanitySpeakLanguageBornCommunityViewsBloodSubjectsCitizensWelfareFollyHate PeopleDifferent LanguagesDifferent Views Author:John Amos Comenius
