Results from Poor Man's College:

The main source of our wealth is goodness. The affections and the generous qualities that God admires in a world full of greed.: Alfred A. Montapert
Wealth is not of necessity a curse, nor poverty a blessing. Wholesome and easy abundance is better than either extreme; better for our manhood that we have enough for daily comfort; enough for culture, for hospitality, for charity. More than this may or may not be a blessing. Certainly it can be a blessing only by being accepted as a trust.: R. D. Hitchcock
We have among us a class of mammon worshippers, whose one test of conservatism or radicalism is the attitude one takes with respect to accumulated wealth. Whatever tends to preserve the wealth of the wealthy is called conservatism, and whatever favors anything else, no matter what is called socialism.: Richard T. Ely
People who are arrogant on account of their wealth are about equal to the Laplanders, who measure a man's worth by the number of his reindeer.: Frederika Bremer
A wise man looks upon men as he does on horses; all their comparisons of title, wealth, and place, he consider but as harness.: Robert Cecil
The greatest paradox of them all is to speak of "civilized warfare.": Author Unknown
Wars begin in the minds of man, and in those minds, love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace.: U Thant
If nations could overcome the mutual fear and distrust whose somber shadow is now thrown over the world, and could meet with confidence and good will to settle their possible differences, they would easily be able to establish a lasting peace.: Fridjof Nansen
War is a profession by which a man cannot live honorably; an employment by which the soldier, if he would reap any profit, is obliged to be false, rapacious, and cruel.: Niccolo Machiavelli (1469 - 1527)
The quality of American life must keep pace with the quantity of American goods. This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.: John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)
