Una Scholarship Pageant

Famous quotes containing the words scholarship and/or pageant:

    “Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
    As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
    Are melted into air, into thin air.
    And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
    The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
    The solemn temples, the great globe itself—
    Yea, all which it inherit—shall dissolve
    And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
    Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
    As dreams are made on, and our little life
    Is rounded with a sleep.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
