Results from Poor Man's College:

If I had my life to live over I'd like to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual trouble, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I'm one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds, I would pick more daisies.: Nadine Stair
The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences.: Jean-Jacques Rousseau
When I was young I was amazed at Plutarch's statement that the elder Cato began at the age of eighty to learn Greek. I am amazed no longer. Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965)
To be 70 years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be 40 years old.: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935)
The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important.: Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968)
To grow old is to grow common. Old age equalizes - we are aware that what is happening to us has happened to untold numbers from the beginning of time. When we are young we act as if we were the first young people in the world.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
There are people whose watch stops at a certain hour and who remain permanently at that age.: Sainte-Beave
One's age should be tranquil, as childhood should be playful. Hard work at either extremity of life seems out of place. At midday the sun may burn, and men labor under it; but the morning and evening should be alike calm and cheerful.: Dr. Thomas Arnold
He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young.: Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
Successful men follow the same advice they prescribe for others.: Author Unknown
