College Welcome Function Quotes & Sayings

Function words behave differently than you might think. For example, the most commonly used word in spoken English, I, is used at far higher rates by followers than by leaders, truth-tellers than liars. People who use high rates of articles - a, an, the - do better in college than low users. And if you want to find your true love, compare the ways you use function words with that of your prospective partners. — James W. Pennebaker

Most people go through college and learn to read Virgil and master the mysteries of calculus without ever discovering how their own minds function. — Dale Carnegie
