I have collected quotes since I was in the 8th grade and was fascinated by the sayings of politicians and sports figures. I probably have 60 pages or more of quotations saved in a Word document now. I'm thinking I might try posting a Quote of the Week here.
Last week, Calvin Mackie, an engineering professor at Tulane University, spoke at the Pacific Northwest Association for College Admission Counseling conference in Salem, Oregon. Afterwards, he gave me a copy of his book and I was glancing through it the other night. At the beginning of chapter five, the following quote caught my eye:
“The greatest tragedy in life is public success and private failure.”
- Nathaniel Bronner
