Famous quotes containing the words henry, college and/or hospital:

    “Time, whose tooth gnaws away everything else, is powerless against truth.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    “For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
