Results from Poor Man's College:

The primary purpose of education is not to teach you to earn your bread, but to make every mouthful sweeter.: James R. Angell
Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within the hearing of little children tends towards the formation of character.: Hosea Ballou (1796 - 1861)
It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth, and wisdom.: Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)
We cannot be too earnest, too persistent, too determined, about living superior to the herd-instinct.: Author Unknown
The vain man is generally a doubter. It is Newton who sees himself as child on the sea shore, and his discoveries in the colored shell.: Willmott

T. Munger
Doubt is the vestibule which all must pass before they can enter the temple of wisdom. When we are in doubt and puzzle out the truth by our own exertions, we have gained something that will stay by us and will serve us again. But if to avoid the trouble of the search we avail ourselves of the superior information of a friend, such knowledge will not remain with us; we have not bought, but borrowed it.: C. C. Colton
There is nothing displays the quickness of genius more than a dispute - as two diamonds, encountering, contribute to each other's lustre. But perhaps the odds are against the man of taste in this particular.: Shestone
The pain of dispute exceeds, by much, its utility. All disputation makes the mind deaf, and when people are deaf I am dumb.: Joseph Joubert
