Results from Poor Man's College:

We cannot be too earnest, too persistent, too determined, about living superior to the herd-instinct.: Author Unknown
I always have to dream up there against the stars. If I don't dream I will make it, I won't even get close.: Henry J. Kaiser (1882 - 1967)
Animals awaken, first facially, then bodily. Men's bodies wake before their faces do. The animal sleeps within its body, man sleeps with his body in his mind.: Chazal
I have heard it said that the first ingredient of success - the earliest spark in the dreaming youth - is this: dream a great dream.: John Alan Appleman
We know accurately only when we know little; with knowledge doubt increases.: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
He that is not open to conviction, is not qualified for discussion.: Richard Whately
There is nothing displays the quickness of genius more than a dispute - as two diamonds, encountering, contribute to each other's lustre. But perhaps the odds are against the man of taste in this particular.: Shestone
The pain of dispute exceeds, by much, its utility. All disputation makes the mind deaf, and when people are deaf I am dumb.: Joseph Joubert
There are many shining qualities on the mind of man; but none so useful as discretion. It is this which gives a value to all the rest, and sets them at work in their proper places, and turns them to the advantage of their possessor. Without it, learning is pedantry; wit, impertinence; virtue itself looks like weakness; and the best parts only qualify a man to be more sprightly in errors, and active to his own prejudice. Though a man has all other perfections and wants discretion, he will be of no great consequence in the world; but if he has this single talent in perfection, and but a common share of others, he may do what he pleases in his station of life.: Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
Through every rift of discovery some seeming anomaly drops out of the darkness, and falls, as a golden link, into the great chain of order.: Edwin Hubbel Chapin
