Welcome Back To School
The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
Socrates (469 BC - 399 BC)
If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr. (1900 - 1965), speech at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, October 8, 1952
Knowledge is power.
Sir Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626), Religious Meditations, Of Heresies, 1597
The strength of the United States is not the gold at Fort Knox or the weapons of mass destruction that we have, but the sum total of the education and the character of our people.
Claiborne Pell (1918 - )
Only the educated are free.
Epictetus (55 AD - 135 AD), Discourses
Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.
Abigail Adams (1744 - 1818), 1780
Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself.
Chinese Proverb
The wisest mind has something yet to learn.
George Santayana (1863 - 1952)
