Results from Poor Man's College:

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end results of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
Nor is it always in the most distinguished achievements that men's virtues or vices may be best discovered: but very often an action of small note, a short saying, or a jest, shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges, or the most important battle.: Plutarch (46 AD - 120 AD)
Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense.: Dr. Thomas Arnold Bennett
The shortest answer is the doing the thing.: Author Unknown
If life were measured by accomplishments, most of us would die in infancy.: A. P. Gouthey
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.: Henry Steele Commager
People wish to be settled. It is only as far as they are unsettled that there is any hope for them.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Familiarity may breed contempt in some areas of human behavior, but in the field of social ideas it is the touchstone of acceptability.: J. William Galbraith
Men are not so weak as you think. They can always leave anybody or any place without a pang - if they find another person or another place they like better. If they feel pricks and scruples it is merely because they cannot make up their mind that the change will be absolutely to their advantage.: John Oliver Hobbes
