Results from Poor Man's College:

Upon books the collective education of the race depends; they are the sole instruments of registering, perpetuating and transmitting thought.: Henry C. Rogers
A good book is the precious life-blood of the master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose for a life beyond.: John Milton (1608 - 1674)
The books we read should be chosen with great care, that they may be, as an Egyptian king wrote over his library, "The medicines of the soul.": Paxton Hood
In a real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.: S. I. Hayakawa
If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds, and these invaluable means of communication are in the reach of all. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours.: William E. Channing
Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.: Alan Watts
If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own.: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
We often do good in order that we may do evil with impunity.: Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)
When I was a small boy I was always being told by others, especially grown ups, to behave, to be good. It never occurred to me that I was always behaving in some manner. But I didn't have the awareness or skill to ask those grown ups what they meant when they told me to behave and to be good. Now I realize that all they wanted was for me to conform to their idea of what was good and not to do what they called bad behavior, which they sometimes changed at will. Even today people are still telling me how I should behave, but now I ask what they mean and sometimes it drives them up a wall.: Sidney Madwed
