Famous quotes containing the words student, council and/or working:
“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives.

—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
