Famous quotes containing the words university and/or presidents:
“A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales. Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the constant omission of a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
