Results from Poor Man's College:

He is not dead who departs from life with a high and noble fame; but he is dead, even while living, whose brow is branded with infamy.: Tieck
I will govern my life and thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one and read the other, for what does it signify to make anything a secret to my neighbor, when to God, who is the searcher of our hearts, all our privacies are open?: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Outstanding leaders appeal to the hearts of their followers - not their minds.: Author Unknown
It is not that the child lives in a world of imagination, but that the child within us survives and starts into life only at rare moments of recollection, which makes us believe, and it is not true, that, as children, we were imaginative?: Cesare Pavese (1908 - 1950)
Humor - the perfect relationship of the parts to the whole.: Author Unknown
It is faith among men that holds the moral elements of society together, as it is faith in God that binds the world to his throne: William M. Evarts
Envy is like a fly that passes all the body's sounder parts, and dwells upon the sores.: Arthur Chapman
There are many shining qualities on the mind of man; but none so useful as discretion. It is this which gives a value to all the rest, and sets them at work in their proper places, and turns them to the advantage of their possessor. Without it, learning is pedantry; wit, impertinence; virtue itself looks like weakness; and the best parts only qualify a man to be more sprightly in errors, and active to his own prejudice. Though a man has all other perfections and wants discretion, he will be of no great consequence in the world; but if he has this single talent in perfection, and but a common share of others, he may do what he pleases in his station of life.: Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how many imperfect and jagged - in some places perhaps irreparably - our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly array, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, of poetic glamour.: Randolph Silliman Bourne
Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end results of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
