"Love is the whole history of a woman’s life, it is but an episode in a man’s." ― Madame de Stael Topic(s): Graduation More From Madame de Stael "Scientific progress makes moral progress a necessity; for if man’s power is increased, the checks that restrain him from abusing it must be strengthened." "Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation, the source of strength is one’s self. When one prays, he goes to a source of strength greater than his own." "The greatest happiness is to transform one’s feelings into action." More In Graduation "Really, the potential for, first of all, any college graduate today is enormously good. These are good times for anyone with a college degree today, particularly African Americans. With a college degree today, you really breach the unemployment rate."― Alexis Herman "It is virtually impossible to compete in today’s global economy without a college degree."― Bobby Scott "Americans in particular are myopic. They’re not traveling as much. When you were a college student, the next thing you would do on graduation was to take a year off and travel. That’s what I did. I went to Indonesia."― Julie Taymor
