Famous quotes containing the words state and/or university:
“A state ... arises, as I conceive, out of the needs of mankind; no one is self-sufficing, but all of us have many wants.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
