Famous quotes containing the words imperial and/or university:

    “If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.”
    —Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

    “Priests are not men of the world; it is not intended that they should be; and a University training is the one best adapted to prevent their becoming so.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
