Famous quotes containing the words school and/or crest:
“For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.”

“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
