Battle School

Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or school:

    The battle of the North Atlantic is a grim business, and it isn’t going to be won by charm and personality.

    A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
