William Allen White
If our colleges and universities do not breed men who riot, who rebel, who attack life with all the youthful vim and vigor, then there is something wrong with our colleges. The more riots that come on college campuses, the better world for tomorrow.
William Allen White
Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.
William Allen White
We say that money talks, but it speaks a broken, poverty-stricken language. Hearts talk better, clearer, and with wider intelligence.
William Allen White
In education, we are striving not to teach youth to make a living, but to make a life.
William Allen White
Peace without justice is tyranny
William Allen White
Whoever tramples on the plea for justice temperately made in the name of peace only outrages peace and kills something fine in the heart of man which God put there when we got our manhood.
William Allen White
