Results from Poor Man's College:

Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever.: Samuel Smiles
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)
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Set priorities for your goals. A major part of successful living lies in the ability to put first things first. Indeed, the reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.: Robert J. McKain
Look not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the Present. In is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future, without fear, and a manly heart.: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
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)
To us, the moment 8:17 A.M. means something - something very important, if it happens to be the starting time of our daily train. To our ancestors, such an odd eccentric instant was without significance - did not even exist. In inventing the locomotive, Watt and Stevenson were part inventors of time.: Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.: Henry Ford (1863 - 1947)
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
Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves.: U Thant
