Ivy League Education

Famous quotes containing the words ivy, league and/or education:

    When the ivy has found its tower, when the delicate creeper has found its strong wall, we know how the parasite plants grow and prosper.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.
    Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

    Man is endogenous, and education is his unfolding. The aid we have from others is mechanical, compared with the discoveries of nature in us. What is thus learned is delightful in the doing, and the effect remains.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
