Best College Quotes

The large majority of the Negroes who have put on the finishing touches of our best colleges are all but worthless in the development of their people. Carter G. Woodson
College is the best thing that can ever happen to you," my father used to say, and he was right, for it was there that I discovered drugs, drinking, and smoking. David Sedaris
I went to Goucher College in Maryland for the best possible reasons - to learn - but then I dropped out at 19 for the best possible reasons - to become a writer. Anne Lamott
At college age, you can tell who is best at taking tests and going to school, but you can't tell who the best people are. That worries the hell out of me. Barnaby C. Keeney
Marcus Allen quote: "It's always hard - if you're not the best player on your team,..."
It's always hard - if you're not the best player on your team, how can you be the best player in college? Marcus Allen
The Greeks were the first mathematicians who are still ‘real’ to us to-day. Oriental mathematics may be an interesting curiosity, but Greek mathematics is the real thing. The Greeks first spoke a language which modern mathematicians can understand: as Littlewood said to me once, they are not clever schoolboys or ‘scholarship candidates’, but ‘Fellows of another college’. So Greek mathematics is ‘permanent’, more permanent even than Greek literature. Archimedes will be remembered when... G. H. Hardy
In 1971, after seven years in college, with that magic piece of paper clutched triumphantly in my fist, the best job I was able to get was night watchman on a sewer project in Babylon, N.Y. guarding a hole in the ground to prevent anyone from stealing it. God bless the American educational system! Spider Robinson
However, because they have no actual interests of their own (or if they do, they squelch them in order to fit in) and merely pursue those that they think will look best on their college apps, they're zombies. Meg Cabot
You're really not that good a mechanic, Edward. Maybe you should have Rosalie take a look at it tonight, just so you look good if Mike decides to let you help, you know. Not that it wouldn't be fun to watch his face if Rosalie showed up to help. But since Rosalie is supposed to be across the country attending college, I guess that's not the best idea. Too bad. Stephenie Meyer
Remember, you can be exalted without a college degree. You can be exalted without being slender and beautiful. You can be exalted without having a successful career. You can be exalted if you are not rich and famous. So focus the best that you can on those things in life that will lead you back to the presence of God - keeping all things in their proper balance. M. Russell Ballard
Jennifer Weiner quote: "Read everything. Read fiction and non-fiction, read hot best..."
Read everything. Read fiction and non-fiction, read hot best sellers and the classics you never got around to in college. Jennifer Weiner
You know what I was thinking? [Ruthie] got so excited when she was spouting this ahistorical countertextual nonsense, and I caught myself thinking, 'What an idiot her teacher must be,' and thinking about her teacher made me realize - the kind of excitement she was showing as she mindlessly spouted back the nonsense she learned in college, that's just like the excitement some of my own students show. And it occurred to me that what we professors think of as a 'brilliant student' is nothing but... Orson Scott Card
My father always used to say, 'College is the best thing that will ever happen to you.' And, he was right, as that was where I discovered drugs, drinking, and smoking. David Sedaris
I just think winners win. And guys who won all the way through high school and college, the best player at every level, they have a way of making things happen and winning games. Tony Dungy
Willie Mays was the best ever. When I was in college I once made a catch like the one Mays made over his head. Sometimes when I'm lying in bed at night I think about it. It still makes me warm. David Duchovny
