Eric Kramer

Eric. M. Kramer (Ph.D., Ohio University) is a Full Professor and Presidential Professor at the University of Oklahoma.

Born and raised in northern Ohio. As a teenager I spent a couple of summers working fishing camps in northern Ontario. There I learned very valuable lessons about hard work, quietude, and solitude. I went to university in 1975. I studied pretty much as hard as I could, wrestled, fenced, and played rugby.

What I believe: Freedom is what you do with what has been done to you. The only people who can truly hurt you are people you love. Don't love anything that can't love you back. The real question is not, what is the meaning of life, but how to make life more meaningful. Satisfaction comes from helping others. And the older I get the more I realize that rarely are things (or people) as bad as we think they are, or as good as we think they are. No one is perfect.

"Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity." --Horace Mann
