Results from Poor Man's College:

Would you who judge of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of pleasure, take this rule; whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off the relish of spiritual things; in short; whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that is sin to you; however innocent it may be in itself.: Robert Southey (1774 - 1843)
None has more frequent conversations with a disagreeable self than the man of pleasure; his enthusiasms are but few and transient; his appetites, like angry creditors, are continually making fruitless demands for what he is unable to pay; and the greater his former pleasures, the more strong his regret, the more impatient his expectations. A life of pleasure is, therefore, the most unpleasing life.: James Goldsmith
The parent who gets down on the floor to play with a child on Christmas Day is usually doing a most remarkable thing -- something seldom repeated during the rest of the year. These are, after all, busy parents committed to their work or their success in the larger society, and they do not have much left-over time in which to play with their children.: Brian Sutton-Smith
Religion is a man using a divining rod. Philosophy is a man using a pick and shovel.: Author Unknown
Philosophy triumphs easily over past evils and future evils; but present evils triumph over it.: Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)
To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, not even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
A great philosophy is not one that passes final judgments and establishes ultimate truth. It is one that causes uneasiness and starts commotion.: Charles Peguy
Any genuine philosophy leads to action and from action back again to wonder, to enduring fact of mystery.: Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)
Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.: Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
