Famous quotes containing the words student and/or body:
“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“It grieves me to think how far more profound and reverent a respect the law would have for literature if a body could only get drunk on it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
