Going to College - Good Luck!!!

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.

“College is the best time of your life”
A college education should equip one to entertain three things: a friend, an idea and oneself.
