About this Quote

This quote by Arthur Ashe speaks to the importance of providing access to college for all. It recommends that when bright young minds are not able to pursue a college education due to monetary restrictions, the whole country suffers. This is because those people are unable to reach their complete potential and contribute to society in significant ways. In addition, the lack of access to college can cause a widening of the financial gap between the rich and the bad, as those who can afford college are more likely to have much better task opportunities and greater salaries. Ultimately, this quote functions as a pointer that providing access to higher education is necessary for the development and prosperity of the country.
