“Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.”
Jesse Jackson Quotes |

“It is important that students bring a certain rafamuffin, barefoot, irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it”
Jacob Chanowski Quotes |

“If you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything. Just say toxicology or marine biokinesis, and the person you're talking to will change the subject to himself. If this doesn't work, mention the neural synapses of embryonic pigeons.”
Chuck Palahniuk Quotes |
|
“Students now arrive at the university ignorant and cynical about our political heritage, lacking the wherewithal to be either inspired by it or seriously critical of it”

Woodrow T. Wilson Quotes |

“Rocking on a lazy billow
With roaming eyes,
Cushioned on a dreamy pillow,
Thou art now wise.
Wake the power within thee slumbering,
Trim the plot that's in thy keeping,
Thou wilt bless the task when reaping
Sweet labour's prize.”
John Stuart Blackie Quotes Source: Address to the Edinburgh Students, quoted by Lord Iddlesleigh "Desultory Reading"

“The studious class are their own victims; they are thin and pale,
their feet are cold, their heads are hot, the night is without
sleep, the day a fear of interruption,--pallor, squalor, hunger,
and egotism. If you come near them and see what conceits they
entertain--they are abstractionists, and spend their days and
nights in dreaming some dream; in expecting the homage of society
to some precious scheme built on a truth, but destitute of
proportion in its presentment, of justness in its application,
and of all energy of will in the schemer to embody and vitalize
it.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes Source: Representative Men--Montaigne

“The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor
its great scholars great men.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Quotes Source: Autocrat of the Breakfast Table (VI)

“Ah, pensive scholar, what is fame?
A fitful tongue of leaping flame;
A giddy whirlwind's fickle gust,
That lifts a pinch of mortal dust;
A few swift years, and who can show
Which dust was Bill, and which was Joe?”
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Quotes Source: Poems of the Class of '29--Bill and Joe (st. 7)

“Where should the scholar live? In solitude, or in society? in
the green stillness of the country, where he can hear the heart
of Nature beat, or in the dark, gray town where he can hear and
feel the throbbing heart of man?”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes Source: Hyperion (bk. I, ch. VIII)

“Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school.”
William Shakespeare Quotes Source: As You Like It (Jaques at II, vii)

“From his cradle
He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one,
Exceeding wise, fair-spoken, and persuading;
Lofty and sour to them that loved him not,
But to those men that sought him, sweet as summer.”
William Shakespeare Quotes Source: The Life of King Henry the Eighth (Griffith at IV, ii)
|
|
“And with unwearied fingers drawing out
The lines of life, from living knowledge hid.”
