Results from Poor Man's College:

Science is but the statement of truth found out.: Coley
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.: Epicurus (341 BC - 270 BC)
He is richest who is content with the least.: Socrates (469 BC - 399 BC)
Where does the violet tint end and the orange tint begins? Distinctly we see the difference of the colors, but where exactly does the one first blending enter into the other. So with sanity and insanity.: Herman Melville (1819 - 1891)
If the world were so organized that everything has to be fair, no living creature could survive for a day. The birds would be forbidden to eat worms, and everyone's self-interest would have to be served.: Author Unknown
Nature's Laws are the invisible government of the earth.: Alfred A. Montapert
There are two great rules of life, the one general and the other particular. The first is that everyone can in the end, get what he wants, if he only tries. That is the general rule. The particular rule is that every individual is, more or less, an exception to the rule.: Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
Those who trust to chance must abide by the results of chance.: Calvin Coolidge (1872 - 1933)
To value riches is not to be covetous. They are the gift of God, and, like every gift of his, good in themselves, and capable of a good use. But to overvalue riches, to give them a place in the heart which God did not design them to fill, this is covetousness.: H. L. Wayland
We are so vain as to set the highest value upon those things to which nature has assigned the lowest place. What can be more coarse and rude in the mind than the precious metals, or more slavish and dirty than the people that dig and work them? And yet they defile our minds more than our bodies, and make the possessor fouler than the artificer of them. Rich men, in fine, are only the greater slaves.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
