Famous quotes containing the words school and/or grades:

    “And Guidobaldo, when he made
    That grammar school of courtesies
    Where wit and beauty learned their trade
    Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
    Had sent no runners to and fro
    That he might learn the shepherds’ will.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
