No student knows his subject: the most he knows is where and how to find out the things he does not know
Woodrow Wilson
Image
We are expected to put the utmost energy, of every power that we have, into the service of our fellow men, never sparing ourselves, not condescending to think of what is going to happen to ourselves, but ready, if need be, to go to the utter length of self-sacrifice.
