Famous quotes containing the words school and/or arms:

    “I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “Prepare your hearts for Death’s cold hand! prepare
    Your souls for flight, your bodies for the earth;
    Prepare your arms for glorious victory;
    Prepare your eyes to meet a holy God!
    Prepare, prepare!”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
