A college of wit-crackers. [ Proverb ]

You were bred in brazen-nose college. [ Proverb ]

There is no college for the conscience. [ Theodore Parker ]

Dull, conceited hashes,
Confuse their brains in college classes;
They gang in stirks, and come oot asses,
Plain truth to speak. [ Burns ]

Perhaps he hath great projects in his mind,
To build a college, or to found a race,
An hospital, a church - and leave behind
Some dome surmounted by his meagre face,
Perhaps he fain would liberate mankind
Even with the very ore which makes them base;
Perhaps he would be wealthiest of his nation,
Or revel in the joys of calculation. [ Byron ]

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

Many a college student only succeeds in mastering a disqualifying culture. [ Edward L. Youmans ]

The press is the exclusive literature of the million; to them it is literature, church, and college. [ Wendell Phillips ]

A hermit who has been shut up in his cell in a college has contracted a sort of mould and rust upon his soul. [ Dr. Watts ]

Do not ask if a man has been through college. Ask if a college has been through him; if he is a walking university. [ Chapin ]

I love college football. It's the only time of year you can walk down the street with a girl in one arm and a blanket in the other, and nobody thinks twice about it. [ Duffy Daugherty ]

He who comes from the kitchen smells of its smoke; and he who adheres to a sect, has something of its cant; the college air pursues the student; and dry inhumanity him who herds with literary pedants. [ Lavater ]

If you would learn to write, it is in the street you must learn it. Both for the vehicle and for the aims of fine arts, you must frequent the public square. The people, and not the college, is the writer's home. A scholar is a candle which the love and desire of all men will light. [ Emerson ]

We see a world of pains taken and the best years of life spent in collecting a set of thoughts in a college for the conduct of life, and after all the man so qualified shall hesitate in his speech to a good suit of clothes, and want commonsense before an agreeable woman. Hence it is that wisdom, valour, justice and learning cannot keep a man in countenance that is possessed with these excellencies, if he wants that inferior art of life and behaviour called good-breeding. [ Steele ]
