Famous quotes containing the words king and/or school:
“You are a king by your own fireside, as much as any monarch in his throne.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“There is nothing intrinsically better about a child who happily bounces off to school the first day and a child who is wary, watchful, and takes a longer time to separate from his parents and join the group. Neither one nor the other is smarter, better adjusted, or destined for a better life.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
