Results from Poor Man's College:

They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
An ounce of patience is worth a pound of brains.: Dutch
It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is simple patience.: Horace Bushnell
If your children look up to you, you've made a success of life's biggest job.: Author Unknown
Children begin by loving their parents. As they grow older, they judge them. Sometimes they forgive them.: Author Unknown
A mother is not a person to lean on but person to make leaning unnecessary.: Dorothy Fisher
Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes.: Thomas Wentworth Higginson
The tipping custom originated in England when small sums were dropped into a box marked T.I.P.S. --TO INSURE PROMPT SERVICE.: Author Unknown, (apocryphal)
In the late 19th century Evanston, Illinois, nicknamed "Heavenston" by Frances Willard, was a Methodist-minded town, so pious that the town fathers, resenting the dissipating influence of the soda fountain, passed an ordinance forbidding the sale of ice cream sodas on Sunday. Some ingenious confectioners, obeying the law, served ice cream with syrup but no soda. This sodaless soda was the Sunday soda, and became so popular that orders for "Sundays" crossed the counter everyday of the week. When objection was raised to christening the dish after the Sabbath, the spelling was changed to Sundae, and so developed one of America's most characteristic dishes.: William Lyon Phelps
Condense some daily experience into a glowing symbol, and an audience is electrified.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
