Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education... no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both.

  • -- Abraham Flexner 亚伯拉罕·弗莱克斯纳

最近，一些国家被迫借了数十亿美元用于战争;从来没有一个国家在很大程度上借钱用于教育……没有一个国家富裕到既能支付战争又能支付文明的费用。我们必须做出选择;我们不能两者兼得。
