Famous quotes containing the words scholars and/or avenue:

“You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”

“Extemporaneous speaking should be practised and cultivated. It is the lawyer’s avenue to the public.... And yet there is not a more fatal error to young lawyers than relying too much on speechmaking. If any one, upon his rare powers of speaking, shall claim an exemption from the drudgery of the law, his case is a failure in advance.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
