Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or education:
“But I, being man, can kiss
And bed-spread-eagle too;
All flesh shall come to this,
Being less than angel is,
Yet higher far in bliss
As it entwines with you.”
—William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)
“A good education is another name for happiness.”
—Ann Plato (1820–?)
