Famous quotes containing the words george, washington, university, law and/or school:

    Bonnie George Campbell rode out on a day.
    He saddled, he bridled, and gallant rode he,
    And hame cam his guid horse, but never cam he.
    —Unknown. Bonnie George Campbell (l. 2–4)

    “If Washington were President now, he would have to learn our ways or lose his next election. Only fools and theorists imagine that our society can be handled with gloves or long poles. One must make one’s self a part of it. If virtue won’t answer our purpose, we must use vice, or our opponents will put us out of office, and this was as true in Washington’s day as it is now, and always will be.”
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labour. You must in some way or other graft upon the man’s nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.
    William Booth (1829–1912)

    I believe it was a good job,
    Despite this possible horror: that they might prefer the
    Preservation of their law in all its sick dignity and their knives
    To the continuation of their creed
    And their lives.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    And this school wasn’t keeping anymore,
    Unless for penitents who took their seat
    Upon its doorsteps as at mercy’s feet
    To make up for a lack of meditation.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
