Famous quotes containing the words private and/or student:
“My gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall. He is good company for pirates, and good with academicians; so that it is useless to fortify yourself against him; he has the private entrance to all minds, and I could as easily exclude myself, as him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“here
to this college on the hill above Harlem
I am the only colored student in my class.”
—Langston Hughes (19021967)
