Results from Poor Man's College:

Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting,: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes. Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings-- they are so trite, so threadbare. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race, and the man who orders his life according to their teachings cannot be far wrong. Has any man ever attained to inner harmony by pondering the experience of others? Not since the world began! He must pass through fire.: Norman Douglas
The hopes of the Republic cannot forever tolerate either undeserved poverty or self-serving wealth.: Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945)
We have among us a class of mammon worshippers, whose one test of conservatism or radicalism is the attitude one takes with respect to accumulated wealth. Whatever tends to preserve the wealth of the wealthy is called conservatism, and whatever favors anything else, no matter what is called socialism.: Richard T. Ely
I have seen enough of one war never to wish to see another.: Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.: Cardinal John Newman
The general cry is against ingratitude, but the complaint is misplaced, it should be against vanity; none but direct villains are capable of willful ingratitude; but almost everybody is capable of thinking he hath done more that another deserves, while the other thinks he hath received less than he deserves.: Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744)
People care more about being thought to have taste than about being good, clever, or amiable.: Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
Today we are afraid of simple words like goodness and mercy and kindness. We don't believe in the good old words because we don't believe in good old values anymore. And that's why the world is sick.: Lin Yutang
Never value the valueless. The trick is to know how to recognize it.: Sidney Madwed
