"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Maya Angelou on Learning"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school."
Albert Einstein on Learning"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."
Martin Luther King, Jr. on Learning"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
Mahatma Gandhi on Learning"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."
Earl Nightingale on Learning"After completing a Delaware State education, they were afforded opportunities beyond anything they might have imagined - and they opened doors for themselves that surely would have remained closed if they only had a high school education."
"By climbing a steeper road, the value and appreciation Delaware State students took and continue to take from their education and their experiences is just as great, if not greater, than students attending ivy league schools."
"Delaware State began as a school bent on service - teaching education, social services and nursing."
"They were often the first students in their family to go to college and the very idea of higher education was still foreign to them. They had to make a conscious and often difficult decision to come to college."
"This is a value-added college education if I have heard one described. And what is the most remarkable about Delaware State University graduates - is they just keeping giving back."
