Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:

    Oh may my heart’s truth
    Still be sung
    On this high hill in a year’s turning.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    While most of today’s jobs do not require great intelligence, they do require greater frustration tolerance, personal discipline, organization, management, and interpersonal skills than were required two decades and more ago. These are precisely the skills that many of the young people who are staying in school today, as opposed to two decades ago, lack.
    James P. Comer (20th century)
