Results from Poor Man's College:

There is a noble manner of being poor and who does not know it will never be rich.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Poor is the man who does not know his own intrinsic worth and tends to measure everything by relative value. A man of financial wealth who values himself by his financial net worth is poorer than a poor man who values himself by his intrinsic self worth.: Sidney Madwed
Painless poverty is better than embittered wealth.: Greek
It is the great privilege of poverty to be happy and yet unenvied, to be healthy with physic, secure without a guard, and to obtain from the bounty of nature what the great and wealthy are compelled to procure by the help of art.: Johnson
The honest poor can sometimes forget poverty. The honest rich can never forget it.: G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)

At the Cole School, where they had community singing every morning the teacher noticed that Jack London remained silent. She asked him why. He replied that she didn't know how to sing, that she would spoil his voice because she flatted. The teacher dispatched him to the principal to be punished. The principal sent him back with a note saying that he could be excused, but that he would have to write a composition each morning for fifteen minutes of singing. Jack ascribes his ability to write a thousand words every morning to the habit formed in this class.: Irving Stone
I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea shore and diverting himself and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary while the greater ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.: Ashley Montagu
There are powers inside of you, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.: Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924)
The teacher pretended that algebra was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn't even know what numbers were. Mathematics classes became sheer terror and torture to me. I was so intimidated by my incomprehension that I did not dare to ask any questions.: Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
