Famous quotes containing the words higher, secondary and/or school:
“Painting seems to be to the eye what dancing is to the limbs. When that has educated the frame to self-possession, to nimbleness, to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so painting teaches me the splendor of color and the expression of form, and as I see many pictures and higher genius in the art, I see the boundless opulence of the pencil, the indifferency in which the artist stands free to choose out of the possible forms.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
