Results from Poor Man's College:

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.: Bible, Proverbs, XLI, 32
It is the nature of ambition to make men liars and cheats, to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths, to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.: Sallust (86 BC - 34 BC)
The slave has but one master, the ambitious man has as many as can help in making his fortune.: Jean De La Bruyere (1645 - 1696)
Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.: David Lloyd George (1863 - 1945)
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.: Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
Old age may seem a long way off. But on the day it doesn't, it will be too late to do anything about it.: Author Unknown
If I had my life to live over I'd like to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual trouble, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I'm one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds, I would pick more daisies.: Nadine Stair
When I was young I was amazed at Plutarch's statement that the elder Cato began at the age of eighty to learn Greek. I am amazed no longer. Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965)
To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.: Andre Bernard Buruch
