Results from Poor Man's College:

The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people - no mere father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born.: Pearl S. Buck
To get a name can happen but to few; it is one of the few things that cannot be brought. It is the free gift of mankind, which must be deserved before it will be granted, and is at last unwillingly bestowed.: Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
If a man knows the law, find out, though he live in a pine shanty, and resort to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the imprisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint a landscape, and convey into souls and ochres all the enchantments of Spring or Autumn; or can liberate and intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious songs and verses; it is certain that the secret cannot be kept; the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his doors.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
In actual life every great enterprise begins with and takes its first forward step in faith.: Friedrich Von Schlegel
The thing that is incredible is life itself. Why should we be here in this sun-illuminated universe? Why should there be green earth under our feet?: Edwin Markham
Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there is one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded faith.: Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated: Tyron Edwards
Not many people are willing to give failure a second opportunity. They fail once and it is all over. The bitter pill of failure is often more than most people can handle. If you are willing to accept failure and learn from it, if you are willing to consider failure as a blessing in disguise and bounce back, you have got the essential of harnessing one of the most powerful success forces.: Joseph Sugarman
To expect defeat is nine-tenths of defeat itself.: Francis Crawford
In a person who is open to experience each stimulus is freely relayed through the nervous system, without being distorted by any process of defensiveness.: Carl Rogers
