Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“There can be no high civility without a deep morality, though it may not always call itself by that name.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
