Famous quotes containing the words independent and/or schools:
“The ex-Presidential situation has its advantages, but with them are certain drawbacks. The correspondence is large. The meritorious demands on one are large. More independent out than in place, but still something of the bondage of the place that was willingly left. On the whole, however, I find many reasons to be content.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The schools begin with what they call the elements, and where do they end?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
