Famous quotes containing the words school and/or grades:

    “Green, green is El Aghir. It has a railway station,
    And the wealth of its soil has borne many another fruit:
    A mairie, a school and an elegant Salle de Fetes.
    Such blessings, as I remarked, in effect, to the waiter,
    Are added unto them that have plenty of water.”
    —Norman Cameron (b. 1905)

    “There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
