United Kingdom Universities

Famous quotes containing the words united, kingdom and/or universities:

    Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.
    Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)

    Then he looked up at his disciples and said: Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
    Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.
    Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
    Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 6:20-22.

    ... though mathematics may teach a man how to build a bridge, it is what the Scotch Universities call the humanities, that teach him to be civil and sweet-tempered.
    Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
