Results from Poor Man's College:

Poetry cannot be translated; and, therefore, it is the poets that preserve the languages; for we would not be at the trouble to learn a language if we could have all that is written in it just as well in a translation. But as the beauties of poetry cannot be preserved in any language except that in which it was originally written, we learn the language.: Johnson
Accurate knowledge is the basis of correct opinions; the want of it makes the opinions of most people of little value.: Charles Simmons
It is not so important to know everything as to know the exact value of everything, to appreciate what we learn, and to arrange what we know.: Hannah More
Knowledge always desires increase; it is like fire, which must first be kindled by some external agent, but which will afterward propagate it.: Johnson
The shortest and surest way of arriving at real knowledge is to unlearn the lessons we have been taught, to mount the first principles, and take nobody's word about them.: Henry Bolingbroke
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolutions.: Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931)
Wise sayings often fall on barren ground; but a kind word is never thrown away.: Sir Arthur Helps
We ask God to forgive us for our evil thoughts and evil temper, but rarely, if ever ask Him to forgive us for our sadness.: R. W. Dale
We find greatest joy, not in getting, but expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not in the taking and holding, but in the doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things, but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.: R. J. Baughan
The mind can assert anything and pretend it has proved it. My beliefs I test on my body, on my intuitional consciousness, and when I get a response there, then I accept.: D. H. Lawrence (1885 - 1930)
