Sufficiently High Grades

Famous quotes containing the words sufficiently, high and/or grades:

    “I duly acknowledge that I have gone through a long life, with fewer circumstances of affliction than are the lot of most men. Uninterrupted health, a competence for every reasonable want, usefulness to my fellow-citizens, a good portion of their esteem, no complaint against the world which has sufficiently honored me, and above all, a family which has blessed me by their affections, and never by their conduct given me a moment’s pain.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Men are in the main alike, but they were made several in order that they might be various. If a low use is to be served, one man will do nearly quite as well as another; if a high one, individual excellence is to be regarded.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
