Famous quotes containing the words ustinov and/or college:
“To refuse awards ... is another way of accepting them with more noise than is normal.”
—Peter Ustinov (b. 1921)
“The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
