Results from Poor Man's College:

Close scrutiny will show that most "crisis situations" are opportunities to either advance, or stay where you are.: Dr. Maxwell Maltz
The gem cannot be polished without friction, not a man perfected without trials.: Chinese Proverb
Well has it been said that there is no grief like the grief which does not speak.: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
It is partly to avoid consciousness of greed that we prefer to associate with those who are at least as greedy as we ourselves. Those who consume much less are a reproach.: Charles Horton Cooley
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
I believe that the first test of a truly great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.: John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.: William Penn (1644 - 1718)

The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. That is part of the penalty for greatness, and every great man understands it; and understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness. The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure continously without resentment.: Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
The superior man is modest in his speech but exceeds in his actions.: Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
