Roosevelt College

Famous quotes containing the words roosevelt and/or college:

    No people is wholly civilized where a distinction is drawn between stealing an office and stealing a purse.
    —Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
