From a book I bought in a book stall which was exhibited by the Pauline Sisters in our parish church years ago...
At an annual Prize distribution day in a British school, the head master proudly announced that only two boys had failed in their examination. THe actor and dramatist Peter Ustinov, who was the chief guest at the function, spoke up for the two failed boys:"" I do not have a single qualification to my name, and the world has great need for unqualified people. I am drawn to the two who did not pass. Had I beena member of this school, the number of failures would almost certainly have been three. All those who don't reach the heights in life still have a value in this world:imagine a world without manual labourers, without artists, without sportsmen, without actors!""
Just another quick with from the same book...
College Lecturer: Why is a lecturer greater than a mother?
A bright youngster: A mother can put only one child to sleep at a time but a lecturer can put the whole class to sleep at one go!
