Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performance:
“The poorest He that is in England hath a life to live as the greatest He.”
—Thomas Raineborough (d. 1648)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
