John Alexander Smith, Speech to Oxford University students, 1914


Gentlemen, you are now about to embark on a course of studies which will occupy you for two years. Together, they form a noble adventure. But I would like to remind you of an important point. Nothing that you will learn in the course of your studies will be of the slightest possible use to you in after life, save only this, that if you work hard and intelligently you should be able to detect when a man is talking rot, and that, in my view, is the main, if not the sole, purpose of education.

Field Marshall John French


To compare is not to improve.

Jean-Paul Sartre


Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

Irving Cohen


Truth is shorter than fiction.
