Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or students:
“Those famous men of old, the Ogres—
They had long beards and stinking arm-pits,
They were wide-mouthed, long-yarded and great-bellied
Yet not of taller stature, Sirs, than you.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!”
