Famous quotes containing the words alliance and/or college:
“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all lifes duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—HonorĂ© De Balzac (17991850)
“It is true enough, Cambridge college is really beginning to wake up and redeem its character and overtake the age.”
