Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“I laugh at the lore and pride of man
At the sophist schools, and the learned clan;
For what are they all, in their high conceit,
When man in the bush with God may meet?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
