Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:

    Esteem must be founded on preference: to hold everyone in high esteem is to esteem nothing.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    Mary had a little lamb,
    Its fleece was white as snow,
    And every where that Mary went
    The lamb was sure to go;
    He followed her to school one day—
    That was against the rule,
    It made the children laugh and play,
    To see a lamb at school.
    Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788–1879)
