Students

It is not enough to offer a smorgasbord of courses. We must insure that students are not just eating at one end of the table.
- Angelo Bartlett Giamatti, 1938 - 1989

When the student is ready. . . the lesson appears.
- Gene Oliver

Whoever ceases to be a student has never been a student.
- George Iles

It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot, irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.
- Jacob Bronowski, 1908 - 1974

While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, He who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its course.
- Lao-Tzu

It is not so important to be serious as it is to be serious about the important things. The monkey wears an expression of seriousness which would do credit to any college student, but the monkey is serious because he itches.
- Robert Maynard Hutchins, 1899 - 1977
