Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or school:
“A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
