Consecrated, should we color our subliminal words as well?

Okay, here are the nominations for quotes. Cynthia, could you please put these up in a poll for me? We don't have very long, so we need to vote fast. You can just put up the author of each quote into the poll if you want.
And in Germany, in Prussia precisely, in the early part of the 19th century, it was mathematically determined by high-level debate that only one kid out of every 200 should be allowed to think that way. Another ten or eleven should be allowed to learn partially to think that way. Those people would end up being the doctors, the lawyers, the college professors, the architects, and they would be the servants of the people trained in leadership thinking.—John Taylor Gatto
“The main hope of a nation lies in the proper education of its youth.” ~Desiderius Erasmus
The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation is the philosophy of government in the next.” ~Abraham Lincoln
“To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.” ~Mary Pettibone Poole
"A tax supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state."
-- Isabel Patterson
"I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays and have things arranged for them that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas. "
--Agatha Christie
“Home schooling is a very old way of doing things. If you look at any of the bills in your wallet or the coins in your pocket, they all have a picture of a homeschooler on them.” ~William Lloyd
“I believe it would be much better for everyone if children were given their start in education at home. No one understands a child as well as his mother, and children are so different that they need individual training and study. A teacher with a room full of pupils cannot do this. At home, too, they are in their mother’s care. She can keep them from learning immoral things from other children.” ~Laura Ingalls Wilder
"Home schoolers should not attempt to impose their loony, paranoid and perverse ideas on the nation"-- Kader Asmal

I think it would be fun, but we could all be as obvious or subtle as we want to be.

Now what?
Now you read through the thread and see what you missed. Duh.
quote:
Thirteen people voted...is that how many are participating? We need to know if we split up the quote.
We could split the quote up into only three or four sections, and then we can all have a part of the quote, but we'd be sharing our part with other people.
Say, for an example, the quote was "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" then we could split it into three section.
"The quick brown"
"Fox jumped over
"The lazy dog."
Then we could altenate. I could put "The quick brown" into my signature line, and you could come next and take "Fox jumped over" and then LisaP would take "The lazy dog." Then the next person to come along would start over (say Cynthia) and take "The quick brown" and then if Emily came around next, she'd get "Fox jumped over."
We could post in this thread which section of the quote we are taking in order.
Then we could try and post in succession to make the entire quote tomorrow, and if three people with all sections of the quote manage to post in a row, in order, they should all high-five each other. We could keep score of how often we could do that, too. We could post a link in here whenever we were able to pull it off if we wanted to.

LOL, ok...I guess it is that homeschooling is a rapidly growing movement, right?
I'm just a literalist...when I do something for April 1st I do it for April 1st.
Wait, where is the dateline? Is it April 1st somewhere already?
