Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“In the student sensuality is a sluggish habit of mind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Mothers who are strong people, who can pursue a life of their own when it is time to let their children go, empower their children of either gender to feel free and whole. But weak women, women who feel and act like victims of something or other, may make their children feel responsible for taking care of them, and they can carry their children down with them.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
