Quote #7 on Education Struggle Quotes >> School and Conformity
“I had won two scholarships but I was a failure, because success was measured not by what you did but by what you were. I was "not a good type of boy" and could bring no credit on the school. I did not possess character or courage or health or strength or money, or even good manners, the power to look like a gentlemen.”
