Results from Poor Man's College:

In every dispute between parent and child, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.: Isaac Rosenfeld
So much of what is best in us is bound up in our love of family, that it remains the measure of our stability because it measures our sense of loyalty. All other pacts of love or fear derive from it and are modeled upon it.: Haniel Long
It is not possible for one to teach others who cannot teach his own family.: Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people - no mere father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born.: Pearl S. Buck
What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little: Stanislaus
Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives.: Johann Von Schiller
To get a name can happen but to few; it is one of the few things that cannot be brought. It is the free gift of mankind, which must be deserved before it will be granted, and is at last unwillingly bestowed.: Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
Fame - a few words upon a tombstone, and the truth of those not to be depended on.: John Christian Bovee
If a man knows the law, find out, though he live in a pine shanty, and resort to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the imprisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint a landscape, and convey into souls and ochres all the enchantments of Spring or Autumn; or can liberate and intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious songs and verses; it is certain that the secret cannot be kept; the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his doors.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
In actual life every great enterprise begins with and takes its first forward step in faith.: Friedrich Von Schlegel
