Results from Poor Man's College:

One cause, which is not always observed, of the insufficiency of riches, is that they very seldom make their owner rich.: Johnson
Man was born to be rich, or grow rich by use of his faculties, by the union of thought with nature. Property is an intellectual production. The game requires coolness, right reasoning, promptness, and patience in the players. Cultivated labor drives out brute labor.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Of all the riches that we hug, of all the pleasures we enjoy, we can carry no more out of this world than out of a dream.: Bonnell
A man that hoards up riches and enjoys them not, is like an ass that carries gold and eats thistles.: Richard Burton
Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
Life resembles the banquet of Damocles; the sword is ever suspended.: Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
There are two things needed in these days; first, for rich men to find out how poor men live; and second, for poor men to know how rich men work.: E. Atkinson
Certainly work is not always required of a man. There is such a thing as a sacred idleness - the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.: G. Macdonald
You get the best out of others when you get the best out of yourself.: Harvey Firestone
There are pauses amidst study, and even pauses of seeming idleness, in which a process goes on which may be likened to the digestion of food. In those seasons of repose, the powers are gathering their strength for new efforts; as land which lies fallow recovers itself for tillage.: J. W. Alexander
