Results from Poor Man's College:

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.: Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)
I despise making the most of one's time. Half of the pleasures of life consist of the opportunities one has neglected.: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935)
Most of us think ourselves as standing wearily and helplessly at the center of a circle bristling with tasks, burdens, problems, annoyance, and responsibilities which are rushing in upon us. At every moment we have a dozen different things to do, a dozen problems to solve, a dozen strains to endure. We see ourselves as overdriven, overburdened, overtired. This is a common mental picture and it is totally false. No one of us, however crowded his life, has such an existence. What is the true picture of your life? Imagine that there is an hour glass on your desk. Connecting the bowl at the top with the bowl at the bottom is a tube so thin that only one grain of sand can pass through it at a time. That is the true picture of your life, even on a super busy day, The crowded hours come to you always one moment at a time. That is the only way they can come. The day may bring many tasks, many problems, strains, but invariably they come in single file. You want to gain emotional poise? Remember the hourglass, the grains of sand dropping one by one.: James Gordon Gilkey
Creation is a better means of self-expression than possession; it is through creating, not possessing, that life is revealed.: Vida D. Scudder
When you take charge of your life, there is no longer need to ask permission of other people or society at large. When you ask permission, you give someone veto power over your life.: Geoffrey F. Abert
You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.: Jo Coudert, "Advice From A Failure"
There are two great rules of life, the one general and the other particular. The first is that everyone can in the end, get what he wants, if he only tries. That is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is, more or less, an exception to the rule.: Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
Riches are not an end of life, but an instrument of life.: Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
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)
