Famous quotes containing the words united, world and/or college:
“We begin with friendships, and all our youth is a reconnoitering and recruiting of the holy fraternity they shall combine for the salvation of men.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I never feel so conscious of my race as I do when I stand before a class of twenty-five young men and women eager to learn about what it is to be black in America.”
