Results from Poor Man's College:

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
There is no restraining men's tongues or pens when charged with a little vanity.: George Washington (1732 - 1799)
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)
Offended vanity is the great separator in social life.: Arthur Helps
Most people pay too much for the things they get for nothing.: Author Unknown
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
A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.: Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809)
On a group of theories one can found a school; but on a group of values one can found a culture, a civilization, a new way of living together among men.: Ignazio Silone
Everyone values things differently. In other words, they place their own value on everything that affects their lives. Also from moment to moment they may even change their values. Such as a person, who values diamonds above all else, might be willing to trade a gallon of diamonds for a drink of water to save his life in a desert. What this means is value is a relative thing depending on a need or a perceived need. Yet, how many people will argue and even violently fight over the perceived value of something or some idea only later have an entirely different view point or value.: Sidney Madwed
