Foundation Year Programme

Famous quotes containing the words foundation, year and/or programme:

    Laws remain in credit not because they are just, but because they are laws. That is the mystic foundation of their authority; they have no other.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    One of the sadder things, I think,
    Is how our birthdays slowly sink:
    Presents and parties disappear,
    The cards grow fewer year by year,
    Till, when one reaches sixty-five,
    How many care we’re still alive?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
