Famous quotes containing the words school and/or grades:

    “East, west, north, south, or like a school broke up,
    Each hurries toward his home and sporting-place.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “He suggested that there might be men of genius in the lowest grades of life, however permanently humble and illiterate, who take their own view always, or do not pretend to see at all; who are as bottomless even as Walden Pond was thought to be, though they may be dark and muddy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
