Famous quotes containing the words students of and/or students:

    Students of history are horror-struck at the massacres of old; but in the shambles, men are being murdered to-day.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
