Results from Poor Man's College:

Advice is the only commodity on the market where the supply always exceeds the demand.: Author Unknown
One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty councils. The thing is to supply light and not heat.: Woodrow Wilson (1856 - 1924)
Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
They that will not be counseled, cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason she will rap you on the knuckles.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but who give us, out of themselves, the ardent spirit and desire to act right, and leave us then, even through many blunders, to find out what our own form of right action is: Phillips Brooks (1835 - 1893)
Business today consists in persuading crowds.: Gerald Stanley Lee
The advertising industry is one of our most basic forms of communication and, allegedly, of information. Yet, obviously, much of this ostensible information is not purveyed to inform but to manipulate and to achieve a result -- to make somebody think he needs something that very possibly he doesn't need, or to make him think one version of something is better than another version when the ground for such a belief really doesn't exist.: Marvin E. Frankel
No one can deny that much of our modern advertising is essentially dishonest; and it can be maintained that to lie freely and all the time for private profit is not to abuse the right of free speech, whether it is a violation of the law or not. But again the practical question is, how much lying for private profit is to be permitted by law?: Carl L. Becker
A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner, neither do uninterrupted prosperity and success qualify for usefulness and happiness. The storms of adversity, like those of the ocean, rouse the faculties, and excite the invention, prudence, skill and fortitude or the voyager. The martyrs of ancient times, in bracing their minds to outward calamities, acquired a loftiness of purpose and a moral heroism worth a lifetime of softness and security.: Author Unknown
Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with.: Leighton
