Results from Poor Man's College:

Prosperity is no just scale; adversity is the only balance to weigh friends.: Plutarch (46 AD - 120 AD)
We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears.: Author Unknown
None of us are responsible for all the things that happen to us, but we are responsible for the way we act when they do happen.: Author Unknown
It doesn't do any good to sit up and take notice if you keep on sitting.: Author Unknown
I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair.: Lord Tennyson
If you have no friends to share or rejoice in your success in life - if you cannot look back to those whom you owe gratitude, or forward to those to whom you ought to afford protection, still it is no less incumbent on you to move steadily in the path of duty; for your active excretions are due not only to society; but in humble gratitude to the Being who made you a member of it, with powers to save yourself and others.: Walter Scott
Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.: Anais Nin (1903 - 1977)
The action of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.: John Locke (1632 - 1704)
The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action - the ability to pass directly from thought to action.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
The greatest potential for control the ends to exist at the point where action takes place.: Louis A. Allen
