Schools are not intended to moralize a wicked world but to impart knowledge and develop intelligence with only two social aims in mind: prepare to take on one's share in the world's work and perhaps in addition lend a hand in improving society after schooling is done.

Emotional intelligence begins to develop in the earliest years. All the small exchanges children have with their parents teachers and with each other carry emotional messages.

If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide you would think that man's intelligence and his comprehension... would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution.

Nowadays people's visual imagination is so much more sophisticated so much more developed particularly in young people that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something they can make of it what they will.

In those days it didn't take much imagination to come up with something that required great lyric development skills. You just thought of an experience that you might have gone through and write it down.

But in my imagination this whole thing developed and I started mixing up old folk songs with the Beatles beat and taking them down to Greenwich Village and playing them for the people there.

What's in front of you is a whole world of experiences beyond your imagination. Put yourself and your growth and development first.

It's through the small things that we develop our moral imagination so that we can understand the sufferings of others.

I feel like I'm a much better person when I'm developing my imagination and my innocence and my vulnerability. I like that version of me better than the version where I'm just working on my analytical mind.

To my mind the boy who gives least promise is one in whom the critical faculty develops in advance of the imagination.

My parents thought it was nice to develop my imagination but they never seriously thought that anything would ever come of it. They said that I couldn't be an actress because I would be taller than all my leading men so I thought I would be a writer instead.

When you start to develop your powers of empathy and imagination the whole world opens up to you.

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.

I was a precocious only child and then I went through a fat awkward stage for several years so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive so I think it was more of a natural progression for me developing into comedy.

If I ever have sex with someone I might be able to develop a sense of humor.

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.

Inventions have long since reached their limit and I see no hope for further development.

I made a real specific decision when I came out of school and most artists were writing about home - if you were a woman you were writing about being a woman - and I decided not to do that write about what you know. That's not what I do. I went as far away from home as possible in terms of the development of my imagination.

I had no books at home. I started to frequent a public library in Lisbon. It was there with no help except curiosity and the will to learn that my taste for reading developed and was refined.

I come from pioneer stock developers of the West people who went out into the wilderness and set up home with nothing but a pair of oxen.

When it comes to developing character strength inner security and unique personal and interpersonal talents and skills in a child no institution can or ever will compare with or effectively substitute for the home's potential for positive influence.

Great men are usually the products of their times and one of the men developed by these times takes rank with the greatest railroad leaders in history.

All history has been a history of class struggles between dominated classes at various stages of social development.

Governments that use violence to stop democratic development will not earn themselves respite forever. They will pay an increasingly high price for actions which they can no longer hide from the world with ease and will find themselves on the wrong side of history.
