Famous quotes containing the words lean, high and/or school:
“At any rate, the line is
Long and electric. Lean beyond and nod.
Be sprightly. Wave. Extend your hand and teeth.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“Esteem must be founded on preference: to hold everyone in high esteem is to esteem nothing.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
