This is going to be a short speech
President Theodore Roosevelt once said to educate a man in the mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society ... If all grads came from a school like OVU, would we have Mid-East turmoil, dictatorships, corrupt corporations or constant political upheaval in Washington, D.C. - think about it.
A people without children would face a hopeless future; a country without trees is almost as helpless; forests which are so used that they cannot renew themselves will soon vanish, and with them all their benefits ... When you help preserve our forests or plant new ones, you are acting the part of a good citizen.More quotes »
