| Inspiring Quotes |
- The study of geography is about more than just memorising places on a map. It’s about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, it’s about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together. (President Barack Obama)
- It is impossible to understand history, international politics, the world, economy, religions, philosophy, or 'patterns of culture' without taking geography into account. (Kenneth C Davis)
- Geography is a living, breathing subject, constantly adapting itself to change. It is dynamic and relevant. For me geography is a great adventure with a purpose. (Michael Palin)
- The peculiar value of geography lies in its fitness to nourish the mind with ideas and furnish the imagination with pictures. (Charlotte Mason)
