| "The taxpayer -- that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination." »Ronald Reagan |
| "In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination." »Mark Twain |
| "To take the measure of oneself by reference to one's colleagues leads to envy or complacency rather than constructive self-examination." »Benno C. Schmidt, Jr. |
| "Universities should be safe havens where ruthless examination of realities will not be distorted by the aim to please or inhibited by the risk of displeasure." »Kingman Brewster, Jr. |
| "One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not.

| "In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing." »Mark Twain |
| "Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher.

Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got." »Richard M. Nixon |
| "He who knows the surface of the earth and the topography of a country only through the examination of maps..is like a man who learns the opera of Meyerbeer or Rossini by reading only reviews in the newspapers. The brush of landscape artists Lorrain, Ruysdael, or Calame can reproduce on canvas the sun's ray, the coolness of the heavens, the green of the fields, the majesty of the mountains...but what can never be stolen from Nature is that vivid impression that she alone can and knows how to impart--the music of the birds, the movement of the trees, the aroma peculiar to the place--the inexplicable something the traveller feels that cannot be defined and which seems to awaken in him distant memories of happy days, sorrows and joys gone by, never to return!" »Dr. Jose P. Rizal |
