Successful Academic

Famous quotes containing the words successful and/or academic:

“The passions are the only orators that are always successful in persuading. They are a kind of art in nature, that proceeds upon infallible rules; and the plainest man, with the help of passion, shall prevail more than the most eloquent man without it.”

“You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn’t kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
