speech graduation authenticity
Joe Paterno
Penn State University Commencement 1973, 1973

speech graduation discipline
Joe Paterno
Penn State University Commencement 1973, 1973
If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, like Shakespeare wrote poetry, like Beethoven composed music; sweep streets so well that all the host of Heaven and Earth will have to pause and say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper, who swept his job well.'
