Famous quotes containing the word study:

    Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself. All that you despise, all that you loathe, all that you reject, all that you condemn and seek to convert by punishment springs from you.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
