“I was quite straight-laced. I was quite academic until I was about 14 and then I went to boarding school where I had the opportunity to continue to be very academic, but got less interested in it and became more involved in acting. And then when I was applying for universities I used a couple of places on my UCAS form to apply for drama school without telling anyone... but didn't get into drama school. But that was the most rebellious thing I did.” SchoolFormUsedOpportunityActingCoupleInvolvedDramaUniversityAcademicRebellious Author:Carey Mulligan

“Success is in the student, not in the university; greatness is in the individual, not in the library; power is in the man, not in his crutches. A great man will make opportunities, even out of the commonest and meanest situations. If a man is not superior to his education, is not larger than his crutches or his helps, if he is not greater than the means of his culture, which are but the sign-boards pointing the way to success, he will never reach greatness. Not learning, not culture alone, not helps and opportunities, but personal power and sterling integrity, make a man great.” IfsMenWayMeanHelpingCultureOpportunityIndividualSituationGreaterStudentsGreatnessHe ManIntegrityLibraryUniversitySuperiorsBoardsGreat MenPointingPersonal PowerCrutchesSterlingWay To Success Author:Orison Swett Marden

“There can be no solution to the challenge of climate change that is not global. But if we can come together in partnership, we can transform today's challenge into tomorrow's opportunity - an opportunity for green growth and sustainable prosperity... we also need a strong bottom-up push from academics and opinion-shapers such as you.
