Results from Poor Man's College:

Adults interfere with a natural biologic development of the child's motor, visual, mental, and artistic abilities when they try to influence the child's work in the early years. The adult's brain has accumulated much more visual and artistic memory than the child's, so there can be no true meeting of adult and child mind unless the adult knows how the child's mind functions in art.: Rhoda Kellog
The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
A writer is not a confectioner, a cosmetic dealer, or an entertainer. He is a man who has signed a contract with his conscious and his sense of duty.: Anton Chekhov (1860 - 1904)
By the time the child can draw more that scribble, by the age of four or five years, an already well-formed body of conceptual knowledge formulated in language dominates his memory and controls his graphic work. Drawings are graphic accounts of essentially verbal processes. As an essentially verbal education gains control, the child abandons his graphic efforts and relies almost entirely on words. Language has first spoilt drawing and then swallowed it up completely.: Karl Buhler, 1930
People who know the least always argue the most.: Author Unknown
A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about.: Author Unknown
Testimony is like an arrow shot from a long-bow; its force depends on the strength of the hand that draws it. But argument is like an arrow from a cross-bow, which has equal force if drawn by a child or a man.: Charles Boyle
Ignorant men don't know what good they hold in their hands until they've flung it away.: Sophocles (496 BC - 406 BC)
I know, indeed, of nothing more subtly satisfying and cheering than a knowledge of the real good will and appreciation of others. Such happiness does not come with money, nor does it flow from fine physical state. It cannot be brought. But it is the keenest joy, after all; and the toiler's truest and best reward.: William Dean Howells
Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal.: Jerome P. Fleishman
