Understanding of our fellow human beings...becomes fruitful only when it is sustained by sympathetic feelings in joy and sorrow.

It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books.

In the middle of adversity there is great opportunity.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
