“If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” - Benjamin Franklin

“Universal suffrage, without universal education, would be a curse.” - H.L. Wayland

“Do not ask if a man has been through college; ask if a college has been through him–if he is a walking university.” - E.H. Chapin

“If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others.” - Tyron Edwards

“Nothing is interesting if you are not interested.” - Helen MacInness

“The mind is but a barren soil…unless it be continually fertilized and enriched with foreign matter.” - Sir J. Reynolds
