Results from Poor Man's College:

If a man hasn't got plenty of good common sense, the more science he has the worse for his patient.: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935)
No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
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)
Risk - If one has to jump a stream and knows how wide it is, he will not jump. If he doesn't know how wide it is, he'll jump and six times out of ten he'll make it.: Persian
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
We are so vain as to set the highest value upon those things to which nature has assigned the lowest place. What can be more coarse and rude in the mind than the precious metals, or more slavish and dirty than the people that dig and work them? And yet they defile our minds more than our bodies, and make the possessor fouler than the artificer of them. Rich men, in fine, are only the greater slaves.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Man was born to be rich, or grow rich by use of his faculties, by the union of thought with nature. Property is an intellectual production. The game requires coolness, right reasoning, promptness, and patience in the players. Cultivated labor drives out brute labor.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Of all the riches that we hug, of all the pleasures we enjoy, we can carry no more out of this world than out of a dream.: Bonnell
A man that hoards up riches and enjoys them not, is like an ass that carries gold and eats thistles.: Richard Burton
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)
