Scholar

Famous quotes containing the word scholar:

“Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation;
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride;
Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, plough his field or gathering his
grain;
So fierce you whirr and pound, you drums—so shrill you bugles blow.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“A scholar does not wish to be always pumping his brains; he wants gossips.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The necessity of labor and conversation with many men and things to the scholar is rarely well remembered.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
