Results from Poor Man's College:

The general cry is against ingratitude, but the complaint is misplaced, it should be against vanity; none but direct villains are capable of willful ingratitude; but almost everybody is capable of thinking he hath done more that another deserves, while the other thinks he hath received less than he deserves.: Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744)
Offended vanity is the great separator in social life.: Arthur Helps
Most people pay too much for the things they get for nothing.: Author Unknown
Today we are afraid of simple words like goodness and mercy and kindness. We don't believe in the good old words because we don't believe in good old values anymore. And that's why the world is sick.: Lin Yutang
On a group of theories one can found a school; but on a group of values one can found a culture, a civilization, a new way of living together among men.: Ignazio Silone
Never value the valueless. The trick is to know how to recognize it.: Sidney Madwed
Everyone values things differently. In other words, they place their own value on everything that affects their lives. Also from moment to moment they may even change their values. Such as a person, who values diamonds above all else, might be willing to trade a gallon of diamonds for a drink of water to save his life in a desert. What this means is value is a relative thing depending on a need or a perceived need. Yet, how many people will argue and even violently fight over the perceived value of something or some idea only later have an entirely different view point or value.: Sidney Madwed
The defects of the understanding, like those of the face, grow worse as we grow old.: Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)
Understand clearly that when a great need appears a great use appears also; when there is a small need there is small use; it is obvious, then, that full use is made of all things at all times according to the necessity thereof.: Dogen Zenji
Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek but it is essential to that preparation of your mind, requisite for the enjoyment of your successes, and for retaining them when gained. So, day by day, and week by week; so month after month, and year after year, work on, and in that progress gain in strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patiently and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepared to receive it and keep it.: Josiah Gilbert Holland
