Famous quotes containing the words walter and/or college:
“But true love is a durable fire
In the mind ever burning;
Never sick, never old, never dead,
From itself never turning.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
“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)
