Results from Poor Man's College:

Teaching is more difficult than learning because what teaching calls for is this: to let learn. The real teacher, in fact, lets nothing else be learned than learning. His conduct, therefore, often produces the impression that we properly learn nothing from him, if by "learning" we now suddenly understand merely the procurement of useful information.: Martin Heidegger
A wisely chosen illustration is almost essential to fasten the truth upon the ordinary mind, and no teacher can afford to neglect this part of his preparation.: Howard Crosby
A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.: Henry B. Adams
Gossip is always a personal confession of malice or imbecility; it is a low, frivolous, and too often a dirty business. There are neighborhoods where it rages like a pest; churches are split in pieces by it, and neighbor made enemies for life. Let the young avoid or cure it while they may.: Jack Holland
I think I may define taste to be that faculty of the soul which discerns the beauties of an author with pleasure, and the imperfections with dislike.: Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
Whatever you are from nature, keep to it; never desert your own line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed; be anything else, and you will be ten thousands times worse than nothing.: Sydney Smith (1771 - 1845)
Nothing is so frequent as to mistake an ordinary human gift for a special and extraordinary endowment.: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935)
A little tact and wise management may often evade resistance, and carry a point, where direct force might be in vain.: Author Unknown
The secret of success is to do all you can do without thought of success.: Author Unknown
Big men become big by doing what they didn't want to do when they didn't want to do it.: Author Unknown
