Results from Poor Man's College:

The grandest of all laws is the law of progressive development. Under it, in the wide sweep of things, men grow wiser as they grow older, and societies better.: John Christian Bovee
Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing, with the result we do nothing. The way to get ahead is to start now. While many of us are waiting until conditions are "just right" before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we are, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, traveled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don't know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait.: The William Feather Magazine
To be proud of learning is the greatest ignorance.: Bishop Taylor
Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages.: Johnson
Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
There is a diabolical trio existing in the natural man, implacable, inextinguishable, co-operative and consentaneous, pride, envy, and hate; pride that makes us fancy we deserve all the goods that others possess; envy that some should be admired while we are overlooked; and hate, because all that is bestowed on others, diminishes the sum we think due to ourselves.: C. C. Colton
Pride defeats its own end, by bringing the man who seeks esteem and reverence into contempt.: Henry Bolingbroke
We hear much of a decent pride, a becoming proud, a noble pride, a laudable pride. Can that be decent, of which we ought to be ashamed? Can that be becoming, of which God has set forth the deformity? Can that be noble which God resists and is determined to abase? Can that be laudable, which God call abominable.: Robert Cecil
Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.: Author Unknown
We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.: Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662)
