Famous quotes containing the words shore, high and/or school:
“Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon anothers great tribulation; not because any mans troubles are a delectable joy, but because to perceive you are free of them yourself is pleasant.”
—Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus)
“What generous beliefs console
The brave whom Fate denies the goal!
If others reach it, is content:
To Heavens high will his will is bent.
Firm on his heart relied,
What lot soeer betide,
Work of his hand
He nor repents nor grieves,
Pleads for itself the fact,
As unrepenting Nature leaves
Her every act.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
