England/education

Famous quotes containing the words england and/or education:

    I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
    Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot!
    Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
    Cry, “God for Harry! England and Saint George!”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
