Results from Poor Man's College:

Falsehood is never so successful as when she baits her hook with truth, and no opinions so fatally mislead us, as those that are not wholly wrong; as no watches so effectually deceive the wearer as those that are sometimes right.: C. C. Colton
Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.: Plato (427 BC - 347 BC)
A great leader never sets himself above his followers except in carrying responsibilities.: Jules Ormont
No punishment of the unrighteous has ever been too severe in the eyes of the righteous.: Author Unknown
It is with our judgments as with our watches; no two go just alike, yet each believes his own.: Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744)
Non Judgment: In our world where it seems we are taught to judge everything all around and about us and we spend so much of our time doing just that, it might be wise to ask if we can judge anything. To judge anything with any degree of clarity and accuracy we would need all the information past, present and future and how it will affect all concerned to make a perfect judgment. Since no one has that skill, ability or information, you might agree, it may be unwise to judge. This idea may be hard to accept, but when you look back over your life and the judgments you made, ask yourself. How many of your judgments, when you made them, were you perfectly sure they were correct, would you want to change now with the benefit of 20 20 hindsight? Since every judgment is only an opinion based on the limited information at hand, filtered through one's personal value system, it might be safe to assume no two people will judge anything exactly the same. Even concepts of right and wrong, good or bad, good or bad morals and ethics are only opinions, for what may be good in one case may be a disaster in another.: Sidney Madwed
We find it hard to apply the knowledge of ourselves to our judgment of others. The fact that we are never of one kind, that we never love without reservations and never hate with all our being cannot prevent us from seeing others as wholly black or white.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.: Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881)
Every year, if not every day, we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge.: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935)
It is not so important to know everything as to know the exact value of everything, to appreciate what we learn, and to arrange what we know.: Hannah More
