Results from Poor Man's College:

Knowledge always desires increase; it is like fire, which must first be kindled by some external agent, but which will afterward propagate it.: Johnson
Learning is acquired by reading books, but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading men, and studying all the various facets of them.: Lord Chesterfield (1694 - 1773)
The shortest and surest way of arriving at real knowledge is to unlearn the lessons we have been taught, to mount the first principles, and take nobody's word about them.: Henry Bolingbroke
Real knowledge, like everything else of value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for, studied for, thought for, and, more that all, must be prayed for.: Thomas Arnold
Friendship is a living thing that lasts only as long as it is nourished with kindness, empathy and understanding.: Author Unknown
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolutions.: Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931)
Wise sayings often fall on barren ground; but a kind word is never thrown away.: Sir Arthur Helps
Joy is not a thing, it is in us.: Charles Wagner
We find greatest joy, not in getting, but expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not in the taking and holding, but in the doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things, but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.: R. J. Baughan
In jealousy there is more of self-love, than of love to another.: Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)
