No student knows his subject: the most he knows is where and how to find out the things he does not know
Woodrow Wilson

Scholarship cannot do without literature.... It needs literature to float it, to set it current, to authenticate it to all the race, to get it out of closets and into the brains of men who stir abroad.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Only a peace between equals can last. Only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit.
