Results from Poor Man's College:

To value riches is not to be covetous. They are the gift of God, and, like every gift of his, good in themselves, and capable of a good use. But to overvalue riches, to give them a place in the heart which God did not design them to fill, this is covetousness.: H. L. Wayland
Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
Life resembles the banquet of Damocles; the sword is ever suspended.: Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
There are pauses amidst study, and even pauses of seeming idleness, in which a process goes on which may be likened to the digestion of food. In those seasons of repose, the powers are gathering their strength for new efforts; as land which lies fallow recovers itself for tillage.: J. W. Alexander
Before every action ask yourself. Will this bring more monkeys on my back. Will the result of my action be a blessing or a heavy burden?: Alfred A. Montapert
Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.: Jean-Paul Sartre (1905 - 1980)
If we have need of a strong will in order to do good, it is still more necessary for us in order not to do evil.: Mole
It is never too late with us, so long as we are aware of our faults and bear them impatiently.: Jacobi
A good intention but fixed and resolute - bent on high and holy ends, we shall find means to them on every side and at every moment; and even obstacles and opposition will but make us "like the fabled specter-ships," which sail the fastest in the very teeth of the wind.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Matters of religion should never be matters of controversy. We neither argue with a lover about his taste, not condemn him, if we are just, for knowing so human a passion.: George Santayana (1863 - 1952)
