Universal education is not only a moral imperative but an economic necessity, to pave the way toward making many more nations self-sufficient and self-sustaining.
‐‐ Desmond Tutu
Universal literacy was a 20th-century goal. Before then, reading and writing were skills largely confined to a small, highly educated class of professional people.
‐‐ Hugh Mackay
Universal orthodoxy is enriched by every new discovery of truth: what at first appeared universal, by wishing to stand still, sooner or later becomes a sect.
‐‐ Edgar Quinet
Universal peace sounds ridiculous to the head of an average family.
‐‐ Kin Hubbard
Universal suffrage is sound in principle. The radical element is right.
‐‐ Rutherford B. Hayes
Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority.
‐‐ Rutherford B. Hayes
Universal vaccination may well be the greatest success story in medical history.
‐‐ Michael Specter
Universal was absolutely marvelous about sitting down with me and listening to my input. It wasn't something where they chose a bunch of songs that were best sellers. They did a marvelous job on the packaging. It's a beautiful tribute.
‐‐ Rita Coolidge
Universalism as an ideal is as old as nay, is probably much more ancient than the Christian ideal.
‐‐ Arthur Keith
Universality has been severely reduced: it is virtually dead as a concept in most areas of public policy.
‐‐ Stephen Harper
Universities are basically socialist institutions.
‐‐ Timothy Noah
Universities are in a position where they can think very creatively.
‐‐ Derek Bok
Universities are like a utopia in a way, because you're mentally stimulated, you're challenged, and you have a lot of young, creative minds wanting to do new things, different things. Better things.
‐‐ Ashton Eaton
Universities are no longer educational in any sense of the word that Rousseau would have recognised. Instead, they have become unabashed instruments of capital. Confronted with this squalid betrayal, one imagines he would have felt sick and oppressed.
‐‐ Terry Eagleton
Universities are not here to be mediums for the coercion of other people, they're here to be mediums for the free exchange of ideas.
‐‐ A. Bartlett Giamatti
Universities are some of the few places left where a struggle for the commons, for public life, if not democracy itself, can be made visible through the medium of collective voices and social movements energized by the need for a politics and way of life counter to authoritarian capitalism.
‐‐ Henry Giroux
Universities are the cathedrals of the modern age. They shouldn't have to justify their existence by utilitarian criteria.
‐‐ David Lodge
Universities are the custodians not only of the many cultures of man, but of the rational process itself.
‐‐ Edward Levi
Universities can teach maturity. They can teach teenagers how to be adults, and that means to function outside a clique or a tribe.
‐‐ Russell Smith
Universities exist to transmit knowledge and understanding of ideas and values to students not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment for athletes.
‐‐ Milton Friedman
Universities have come to realize that online is not a fad. The question is not whether to engage in this area but how to do it.
‐‐ Daphne Koller
Universities have to tame their budgets, especially for student amenities that have nothing to do with education.
‐‐ Robert Reich
Universities ought to be aware of the degree they would want to accept funding from governments like China to work on, say, face recognition technology.
‐‐ Evgeny Morozov
Universities should be about more than developing work skills. They must also be about producing civic-minded and critically engaged citizens - citizens who can engage in debate, dialogue and bear witness to a different and critical sense of remembering, agency, ethics and collective resistance.
‐‐ Henry Giroux
Universities such as Cambridge, Oxford, and Harvard all began as Jesus-inspired efforts to love God with all ones' mind.
‐‐ John Ortberg
Universities think people come up with great ideas by closing the door. The academic tenure process, where you have to publish to journals which are very narrow, stands in the way of great research.
‐‐ Clayton Christensen
Universities used to prepare young adults for the real world. I dare say the graduates today go in without a clue and graduate without a clue. It's time to acknowledge the college degree is not worth what it was in the past. Times are changing, and so is the way we prepare our youth to survive in a competitive world.
‐‐ Dale Archer
Universities want to recruit the students that they believe will best represent the university while in school and beyond. Students with a robust social media presence and clearly defined personal brand stand to become only more influential.
‐‐ Amy Jo Martin
University of California students can look forward to the same authoritarian management style Secretary Napolitano brought to the Department of Homeland Security, hardly a bastion of free speech and open government.
‐‐ Doug LaMalfa
University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small.
‐‐ Henry A. Kissinger
University was a chance to people-watch and to mix with people from all various walks of life, which as an actor is a great experience because you get to observe people.
‐‐ Tom Riley
Univision is the only network where you pay for more, not for less.
‐‐ Randy Falco
Univision's close-to-50-year relationship with Hispanics makes us one of the leading media brands in this country and the gateway to connect with this consumer.
‐‐ Randy Falco
Unix has, I think for many years, had a reputation as being difficult to learn and incomplete. Difficult to learn means that the set of shared conventions, and things that are assumed about the way it works, and the basic mechanisms, are just different from what they are in other systems.
‐‐ Brian Kernighan
UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.
‐‐ Dennis Ritchie
Unjust attacks on public men do them more good than unmerited praise.
‐‐ Rutherford B. Hayes
Unjust. How many times I've used that word, scolded myself with it. All I mean by it now is that I don't have the final courage to say that I refuse to preside over violations against myself, and to hell with justice.
‐‐ Lillian Hellman
Unkindness is quite a major sin.
‐‐ John Rhys-Davies
Unknown in Paris, I was lost in the great city, but the feeling of living there alone, taking care of myself without any aid, did not at all depress me. If sometimes I felt lonesome, my usual state of mind was one of calm and great moral satisfaction.
‐‐ Marie Curie
'Unknown Pleasures' is a very important record for me. It was the first LP that I recorded.
‐‐ Peter Hook
Unless a capacity for thinking be accompanied by a capacity for action, a superior mind exists in torture.
‐‐ Charles Horton Cooley
Unless a design is infused with a personality - and by that, I mean mine or someone else who really understands what design is all about - it will never, ever have any mystery.
‐‐ Anouska Hempel
Unless a man believes in himself and makes a total commitment to his career and puts everything he has into it - his mind, his body, his heart - what's life worth to him?
‐‐ Vince Lombardi
Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature, and best suited to his peculiar genius, he cannot succeed. I am glad to believe that the majority of persons do find their right vocation.
‐‐ P. T. Barnum
Unless a man feels he has a good enough memory, he should never venture to lie.
‐‐ Michel de Montaigne
Unless a man undertakes more than he possibly can do, he will never do all he can do.
‐‐ Henry Drummond
Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder.
‐‐ Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
Unless a player goes in for intensive play and tournament competition, two racquets are sufficient.
‐‐ Helen Wills Moody
Unless a president can protect the privacy of the advice he gets, he cannot get the advice he needs.
‐‐ Richard M. Nixon
