Every young man or woman should weigh the matter well before concluding that a college education is out of the question.

I wish I could fill every young man who reads these pages with an utter dread and horror of poverty. I wish I could make you so feel its shame, its constraint, its bitterness that you would make vows against it.

Every man must play the part of his ambition. If you are trying to be a successful man, you must play the part.

A college education shows a man how little other people know.

In the world today, a young lady who does not have a college education just is not educated.

If you are ambitious to talk well, you must be as much as possible in the society of well-bred, cultured people. If you seclude yourself, though you are a college graduate, you will be a poor converser.
