Results from Poor Man's College:

We ought not be over anxious to encourage innovation, in case of doubtful improvement, for an old system must ever have two advantages over a new one; it is established and it is understood.: C. C. Colton
All progress is based on a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income.: Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
The grandest of all laws is the law of progressive development. Under it, in the wide sweep of things, men grow wiser as they grow older, and societies better.: John Christian Bovee
Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing, with the result we do nothing. The way to get ahead is to start now. While many of us are waiting until conditions are "just right" before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we are, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, traveled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don't know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait.: The William Feather Magazine
Back of every noble life there are principles that have fashioned it.: George Lorimer
We rise in glory as we sink in pride.: Young
He who merely knows right principles is not equal to him who loves them.: Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
To be proud of learning is the greatest ignorance.: Bishop Taylor
Pride is the common forerunner of a fall. It was the devil's sin, and the devil's ruin; and has been, ever since, the devil's stratagem, who, like as expert wrestler, usually gives a man a lift before he gives a throw.: South
Pride, like laudanun and other poisonous medicines, is beneficial in small, though injurious in large quantities. No man who is not pleased with himself, even in a personal sense, can please others.: Frederick Saunders
