Famous quotes containing the words general, english, proficiency and/or test:
“‘A thing is called by a certain name because it instantiates a certain universal’ is obviously circular when particularized, but it looks imposing when left in this general form.

Universals, like facts and propositions, are such shadows.”
—David Pears (b. 1921)
“The English winter—ending in July,
To recommence in August.”
