Famous quotes containing the words king and/or school:

    “How the imagination is piqued by anecdotes of some great man passing incognito, as a king in gray clothes.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Today, only a fool would offer herself as the singular role model for the Good Mother. Most of us know not to tempt the fates. The moment I felt sure I had everything under control would invariably be the moment right before the principal called to report that one of my sons had just driven somebody’s motorcycle through the high school gymnasium.”
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
