Vincent College

Famous quotes containing the words vincent and/or college:

    Parrots, tortoises and redwoods
    Live a longer life than men do,
    Men a longer life than dogs do,
    Dogs a longer life than love does.
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
