Famous quotes containing the words john, university and/or sydney:

    Fair, rich, and young: how rare is her perfection,
    Were it not mingled with one foul infection!
    I mean, so proud a heart, so curst a tongue,
    As makes her seem nor fair, nor rich, nor young.
    —Sir John Harington (1561–1612)

    In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows.
    O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
