Famous quotes containing the word mark:
“The mark of a true politician is that he is never at a loss for words because he is always half-expecting to be asked to make a speech.”

“The ideal college is Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a student on the other.”
—James A. Garfield (1831–1881)
“The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
