Famous quotes containing the words study, design and/or results:

    “A young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end that is aimed at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference whether he is young in years or youthful in character.”
    —Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)

    “To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.”
    —Marilyn French (20th century)

    “The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
