Famous quotes containing the words university and/or singh:

“To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labour. You must in some way or other graft upon the man’s nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.”
—William Booth (1829–1912)

“Saint, saintliness is a long way off.
It is like a tall and beautiful palm tree.
If you climb it, you drink the love potion,
but if you fall you break into pieces.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
