Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or students:

    a notable prince that was called King John;
    And he ruled England with main and with might,
    For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.
    —Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)

    A complacent old Don of Divinity
    Used to boast of his daughter’s virginity:
    “They must have been dawdlin’,
    The students of Magdalen—
    It couldn’t have happened at Trinity.”
