Famous quotes containing the words national and/or league:

    “There is no national science just as there is no national multiplication table; anything that is national is not scientific.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
    —Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
