Famous quotes containing the words state and/or university:

    “If a thousand men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It is the goal of the American university to be the brains of the republic.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
