Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or school:
“A man may be defeated by his own secondary successes.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
