Famous quotes containing the words higher, school and/or certificate:

    “I think it’s one of the scars in our culture that we have too high an opinion of ourselves. We align ourselves with the angels instead of the higher primates.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “School days, school days; dear old golden rule days.
    Readin’ and ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmetic; taught to the tune of a hick’ry stick.”
    —Will D. Cobb (1876–1930)

    “God gave the righteous man a certificate entitling him to food and raiment, but the unrighteous man found a facsimile of the same in God’s coffers, and appropriated it, and obtained food and raiment like the former. It is one of the most extensive systems of counterfeiting that the world has seen.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
