“Triste del país que no tome a las ciencias por guía en sus empresas y trabajos. Se quedará postergado, vendrá
a ser tributario de los demás y su ruina será infalible, porque en la situación actual de las sociedades modernas,
la que emplea más sagacidad y saber, debe obtener ventajas seguras sobre las otras.”
Dr. José María Castro Madriz
Discurso inaugural de la Universidad de Santo Tomás
1844
