Results from Poor Man's College:

There is a courtesy of the heart; it is allied to love. From its springs the purest courtesy in the outward behavior.: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Cowards falter, but danger is often overcome by those who nobly dare.: Queen Elizabeth
The most enviable writers are those who, quite often unanalytically and unconsciously, have realized that there are different facets to their nature and are able to live and work with now one, now another, in the ascendant.: Dorothea Brande
If you see in any given situation only what everybody else can see, you can be said to be so much a representative of your culture than you are a victim of it.: S. I. Hayakawa
You dehumanize a man as much by returning him to nature - by making him one with rocks, vegetation, and animals - as by turning him into a machine. Both the natural and the mechanical are the opposite of that which is uniquely human. Nature is a self-made machine, more perfectly automated than any automated machine. To create something in the image of nature is to create a machine, and it was by learning the inner working of nature that man became a builder of machines. It is also obvious that when man domesticated animals and plants he acquired self-made machines for the production of food, power, and beauty.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
Because women live creatively, they rarely experience the need to depict or write about that which to them is a primary experience and which men know only at a second remove. Women create naturally, men create artificially.: Ashley Montagu
Creative power, is that receptive attitude of expectancy which makes a mold into which the plastic and as yet undifferentiated substance can flow and take the desired form.: Thomas Troward
Those who enter heaven may find the outer walls plastered with creeds, but they won't find any on the inside.: Josh Billings (1818 - 1885)
I believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity, in good cheer, in friendship and in honest competition. I believe there is something doing somewhere, for every man ready to do it. I believe I'm ready, RIGHT NOW.: Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
A good writer is not necessarily a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender.: Jim Bishop
