A Socrates In Every Classroom.

Could Hamlet Have Been Written By A Committee, Or The "mona Lisa" Painted By A Club? Could The New Testament Have Been Composed As A Conference Report? Creative Ideas Do Not Spring From Groups.

Self-respect Cannot Be Hunted. It Cannot Be Purchased. It Is Never For Sale. It Cannot Be Fabricated Out Of Public Relations.
