Famous quotes containing the words tenth and/or grade:
“Of Ickworth’s boys, their father’s joys,
There is but one a bad one;
The tenth is he, the parson’s fee,
And indeed he is a sad one.
No love of fame, no sense of shame,
And a bad heart, let me tell ye:
Without, all brass; within, all ass,
And the puppy’s name is Felly.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“Life begins at six—at least in the minds of six-year-olds. . . . In kindergarten you are the baby. In first grade you put down the baby. . . . Every first grader knows in some osmotic way that this is real life. . . . First grade is the first step on the way to a place in the grown-up world.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
