There is no more beautiful life than that of the student. [ French Albrecht ]

He who proposes to be an author should first be a student. [ Dryden ]

Conversation is the laboratory and workshop of the student. [ Emerson ]

Many a college student only succeeds in mastering a disqualifying culture. [ Edward L. Youmans ]

One who uses many periods is a philosopher; many interrogations, a student; many exclamations, a fanatic. [ J. L. Basford ]

Mathematics does not exercise the judgment, and if too exclusively pursued, may leave the student very ill qualified for moral reasoning. [ R. Whately ]

The mind of the thinker and the student is driven to admit, though it be awe-struck by apparent injustice, that this inequality is the work of God. Make all men equal today, and God has so created them that they shall be all unequal tomorrow. [ Anthony Trollope ]

The first degree of proficiency is, in painting, what grammar is in literature, - a general preparation for whatever species of the art the student may afterwards choose for his more particular application.

Mr. Johnson had never, by his own account, been a close student, and used to advise young people never to be without a book in their pocket, to be read at bye-times, when they had nothing else to do. It has been by that means, said he to a boy at our house one day, that all my knowledge has been gained, except what I have picked up by running about the world with my wits ready to observe, and my tongue ready to talk. [ Mrs. Piozzi ]
