There should be rivalry between men and between business.

I believe in 100% Theory and 100% Practice. Theory without practical application is futile.

I foresee the time when industry shall no longer denude the forests which require generations to mature, nor use up the mines which were ages in making, but shall draw its raw material largely from the annual produce of the fields.

Many schools include a service project as part of their curriculum, and many corporations have in-house projects for their employees or give them time off to do volunteer work.

Poorer students take out larger loans and will have to contribute more to the cost of higher education.

The universe is not indifferent to intelligence, it is actively hostile to it.

Any man can learn anything he will, but no man can teach except to those who want to learn. Education is preeminently a matter of quality, not amount.

What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
