Famous quotes containing the words university, applied and/or sciences:

    It is the goal of the American university to be the brains of the republic.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behavior as well as by application. It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The sciences have ever been the surest guides to virtue.
    Frances Wright (1795–1852)
