Results from Poor Man's College:

Creative power, is that receptive attitude of expectancy which makes a mold into which the plastic and as yet undifferentiated substance can flow and take the desired form.

Josh Billings (1818 - 1885)
I believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity, in good cheer, in friendship and in honest competition. I believe there is something doing somewhere, for every man ready to do it. I believe I'm ready, RIGHT NOW.

Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)

Dale Carnegie

Tyron Edwards
Ours is an age of criticism, to which everything must be subjected.

Immanuel Kant (1724 - 1804)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
In my wide association in life, meeting with many and great men in various parts of the world, I have yet to find the man, however great or exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than he would ever do under a spirit of criticism.

Charles M. Schwab
Neither praise nor blame is the object of true criticism. Justly to discriminate, firmly to establish, wisely to proscribe, and honestly to award - these are the true aims and duties of criticism.
