Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“What you have said
I will consider; what you have to say
I will with patience hear, and find a time
Both meet to hear and answer such high things.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
