Barefoot must not go among Thorns.
Thomas (writer) Fuller
The symbol of the University is the iron statue outside the Rathskeller of a barefoot goosegirl that every student kisses at graduation. The University is a Mecca to which students come with something less than perfect faith. It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known but to question it.
Jacob Bronowski
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
Jesus Christ
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Jesus Christ
What is the spiritual battle? Well, the soul is a garden divided into two parts. On one half are planted thorny bushes, and on the other half flowers. We also have a water pump with two taps and two channels. The one guides the water to the thorns and the other to the flowers. I always have the choice to open one or the other tap. I leave the thorns without water and they dry up, I water the flowers and they blossom.
