Famous quotes containing the words college and/or achievements:
“Love begins like a triolet and ends like a college yell.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements, and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
