Nc State University

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or university:

“Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“It is the goal of the American university to be the brains of the republic.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
