    Who so list believe;
    Trust therefore first, and after preve,
    As men wed ladies by license and leave,
    All is possible.”
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    “And hereby hangs a moral highly applicable to our own trustee-ridden universities, if to nothing else. If we really wanted liberty of speech and thought, we could probably get it—Spain fifty years ago certainly had a longer tradition of despotism than has the United States—but do we want it? In these years we will see.”

    “I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share.

It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
