Famous quotes containing the words class and/or words:
“Alas for the cripple Practice when it seeks to come up with the bird Theory, which flies before it. Try your design on the best school. The scholars are of all ages and temperaments and capacities. It is difficult to class them, some are too young, some are slow, some perverse. Each requires so much consideration, that the morning hope of the teacher, of a day of love and progress, is often closed at evening by despair.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“I taught you sounds and words and soothed your complainings and your hidden hurts, and as you did crawl on the ground, I stooped and lifted you to my kisses, and lovingly on my bosom lulled to sleep your drooping eyes, and bade sweet slumber take you.”
—Publius Papinius Statius (c. 4096)
