Results from Poor Man's College:

No company is preferable to bad, because we are more apt to catch the vices of others than their virtues, as disease is far more contagious than health.: C. C. Colton
A sneer is often the sign of heartless malignity.: Johann Kaspar Lavater
From social intercourse are derived some of the highest enjoyments of life; where there is a free interchange of sentiments the mind acquires new ideas, and by frequent exercise of its powers, the understanding gains fresh vigor.: Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
There are many kinds of smiles, each having a distinct character. Some announce goodness, and sweetness, others betray sarcasm, bitterness, and pride; some soften the countenance by their languishing tenderness, others brighten by their spiritual vivacity.: Johann Kaspar Lavater
How frequently are the honesty and integrity of a man disposed of by a smile or a shrug. How many good and generous actions have been sunk into oblivion by a distrustful look, or stamped with the imputation of bad motives, by a mysterious and seasonable whisper!: Sterne
There would not be so many open mouths if there were not so many open ears.: Bishop Hall
No one is safe from slander. The best way is to pay no attention to it, but live in innocence and let the world talk.: Moliere (1622 - 1673)
The slanderer and the assassin differ only in the weapon they use; with the one it is the dagger, with the other the tongue. The former is worse that the latter, for the last only kills the body, while the other murders the reputation.: Tyron Edwards
The surest method against scandal is to live it down by perseverance in well doing.: Boerhaave
Sincerity is like traveling on a plain, beaten road, which commonly brings a man sooner to his journey's end than by-ways, in which men often lose themselves.: Tillotson
