Country Schools

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or schools:

“That is no country for old men. The young
In one another’s arms, birds in the trees
MThose dying generations—at their song,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Our good schools today are much better than the best schools of yesterday. When I was your age and a pupil in school, our teachers were our enemies.
Can any thing ... be more painful to a friendly mind, than a necessity of communicating disagreeable intelligence? Indeed it is sometimes difficult to determine, whether the relator or the receiver of evil tidings is most to be pitied.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
