Rank Candidates

Famous quotes containing the words rank and/or candidates:

    I have not loved the world, nor the world me;
    I have not flatter’d its rank breath, nor bow’d
    To its idolatries a patient knee.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Is it not manifest that our academic institutions should have a wider scope; that they should not be timid and keep the ruts of the last generation, but that wise men thinking for themselves and heartily seeking the good of mankind, and counting the cost of innovation, should dare to arouse the young to a just and heroic life; that the moral nature should be addressed in the school-room, and children should be treated as the high-born candidates of truth and virtue?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
