Zahlreich sind die Lehrkanzeln, aber selten die weisen und edlen Lehrer. Zahlreich und groß sind die Hörsäle, doch wenig zahlreich die jungen Menschen, die ehrlich nach Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit dürsten. Zahlreich spendet die Natur ihre Dutzendware, aber das Feinere erzeugt sie selten.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, 26th president of the United States

The good citizen must be a good citizen of his own country first before he can with advantage be a citizen of the world at large.
