Results from Poor Man's College:

Prejudice squints when it looks, and lies when it talks.: Duchess de Abrantes
I was the son of an immigrant. I experienced bigotry, intolerance and prejudice, even as so many of you have. Instead of allowing these thing to embitter me, I took them as spurs to more strenuous effort.: Andre Bernard Buruch

A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.: Phillips Brooks (1835 - 1893)

When I was young I had an elderly friend who used often to ask me to stay with him in the country. He was a religious man and he read prayers to the assembled household every morning. But he had crossed out in pencil all the passages that praised God.

Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965)

The real satisfaction which praise can afford, is when what is repeated aloud agrees with the whispers of conscience, by showing us that we have not endeavored to deserve well in vain.: Johnson
Praise in the beginning is agreeable enough; and we receive it as a favor; but when it comes in great quantities, we regard it only as a debt, which nothing but our merit could extort.: James Goldsmith
