Famous quotes containing the words banks and/or authorities:

    “For the wrong that needs resistance,
    For the future in the distance,
    And the good that I can do.”
    —George Linnaeus Banks (1821–1881)

    “The new supplants the old. Yet men’s minds are stuffed with outworn bunk. Educating the young in the latest findings of authorities and scholars in the social sciences is important. It is equally important to devise ways and means for aiding the middle-aged and old to reexamine hang-over unscientific doctrines and ideas in the light of recent discovery and research.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
