Famous quotes containing the words gorman and/or lectures:
“I can’t remember what I was doing before running. I guess shopping, sewing, watching TV—gaining nothing.”
—Miki Gorman (b. 1935)
“Hence a young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end aimed at is not knowledge but action.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
