Results from Poor Man's College:

Patience is the key to content.: Mahomet
There are times when God asks nothing of his children except silence, patience and tears.: C. S. Robinson
They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
The two powers which in my opinion constitute a wise man are those of bearing and forebearing.: Epictetus (55 AD - 135 AD)
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.: Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is simple patience.: Horace Bushnell
Men of strong minds and who think for themselves, should not be discouraged on finding occasionally that some of their best ideas have been anticipated by former writers; they will neither anathematize others nor despair themselves. They will rather go on discovering things before discovered, until they are rewarded with a land hitherto unknown, an empire indisputably their own, both right of conquest and of discovery.: C. C. Colton
The tipping custom originated in England when small sums were dropped into a box marked T.I.P.S. --TO INSURE PROMPT SERVICE.: Author Unknown, (apocryphal)
In the late 19th century Evanston, Illinois, nicknamed "Heavenston" by Frances Willard, was a Methodist-minded town, so pious that the town fathers, resenting the dissipating influence of the soda fountain, passed an ordinance forbidding the sale of ice cream sodas on Sunday. Some ingenious confectioners, obeying the law, served ice cream with syrup but no soda. This sodaless soda was the Sunday soda, and became so popular that orders for "Sundays" crossed the counter everyday of the week. When objection was raised to christening the dish after the Sabbath, the spelling was changed to Sundae, and so developed one of America's most characteristic dishes.: William Lyon Phelps
The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one's opportunities and make the most of one's resources.: Vauvenargues
