Results from Poor Man's College:

Blessed is the man who has some congenial work, some occupation in which he can put his heart, and which affords a complete outlet to all the forces there are in him.: John Burroughs (1837 - 1921)
Friendship is love with understanding.: Author Unknown
Society expects man to be a passive social animal who believes like the People of the Field in "Jurgen" that "to do what you always have done" and "what is expected of you" are the twin rules of life. This, of course, is not true. The wanton crucifixion of impulses, the unnecessary blocking and frustration of the drives and urges, are an evil that reflects itself in sophistication, ennui and boredom, dissatisfaction, melancholy, fatigue, anxiety and neurosis.: Abraham Myerson
The man who has strong opinions and always says what he thinks is courageous - and friendless.: Author Unknown
The wise man does not permit himself to set up even in his own mind any comparisons of his friends. His friendship is capable of going to extremes with many people, evoked as it is by many qualities.: Charles Dudley Warner (1829 - 1900)
One may discover a new side to his most intimate friend when for the first time he hears him speak in public. He will be stranger to him as he is more familiar to the audience. The longest intimacy could not foretell how he would behave then: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.: Sydney Smith (1771 - 1845)
Man has three friends on whose company he relies. First, wealth which goes with him only while good fortune lasts. Second, his relatives; they go only as far as the grave, leave him there. The third friend, his good deeds, go with him beyond the grave.: The Talmud
Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy. On the contrary, in friendship union is more about ideal things: and in that sense it is more ideal and less subject to trouble than marriage is.: George Santayana (1863 - 1952)
The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.: John Henry Newman
