Famous quotes containing the words technical, high and/or school:
“The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, “the whole is greater than its part;” “reaction is equal to action;” “the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time;” and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What you have said
I will consider; what you have to say

Both meet to hear and answer such high things.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“You send a boy to school in order to make friends—the right sort.”
