So there you sit. And how much blood was shed <br />That you might sit there. Do such stories bore you? <br />Well, don't forget that others sat before you <br />who later sat on people. Keep your head! <br />Your science will be valueless, you'll find <br />And learning will be sterile, if inviting <br />Unless you pledge your intellect to fighting <br />Against all enemies of all mankind. <br />Never forget that men like you got hurt <br />That you might sit here, not the other lot. <br />And now don't shut your eyes, and don't desert <br />But learn to learn, and try to learn for what.<br /><br />Bertolt Brecht<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-students-of-the-workers-and-peasants-facu/
