Famous quotes containing the words honors and/or college:

    “My heart’s subdued
    Even to the very quality of my lord.
    I saw Othello’s visage in his mind,
    And to his honors and his valiant parts
    Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
