Famous quotes containing the words liberal, studies and/or program:

    “In doubtful cases the more liberal interpretation must always be preferred.”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    “His life itself passes deeper in nature than the studies of the naturalist penetrate; himself a subject for the naturalist. The latter raises the moss and bark gently with his knife in search of insects; the former lays open logs to their core with his axe, and moss and bark fly far and wide. He gets his living by barking trees. Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see nature carried out in him.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.”
    —For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
