Famous quotes containing the words specialty and/or colleges:

    “... to a specialist his specialty is the whole of everything and if his specialty is in good order and it generally is then everything must be succeeding.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “I learn immediately from any speaker how much he has already lived, through the poverty or the splendor of his speech. Life lies behind us as the quarry from whence we get tiles and copestones for the masonry of today. This is the way to learn grammar. Colleges and books only copy the language which the field and the work-yard made.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
