Results from Poor Man's College:

We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general. Action is always specific, concrete, individualized, unique.: John Dewey (1859 - 1952)
The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.: Epicurus (341 BC - 270 BC)
Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end results of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.: Foster C. McClellan
Nor is it always in the most distinguished achievements that men's virtues or vices may be best discovered: but very often an action of small note, a short saying, or a jest, shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges, or the most important battle.: Plutarch (46 AD - 120 AD)
Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense.: Dr. Thomas Arnold Bennett
If life were measured by accomplishments, most of us would die in infancy.: A. P. Gouthey
Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.: Henry Steele Commager
People wish to be settled. It is only as far as they are unsettled that there is any hope for them.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Familiarity may breed contempt in some areas of human behavior, but in the field of social ideas it is the touchstone of acceptability.: J. William Galbraith
