Results from Poor Man's College:

Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing, with the result we do nothing. The way to get ahead is to start now. While many of us are waiting until conditions are "just right" before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we are, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, traveled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don't know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait.: The William Feather Magazine
Back of every noble life there are principles that have fashioned it.: George Lorimer
He who merely knows right principles is not equal to him who loves them.: Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
To be proud of learning is the greatest ignorance.: Bishop Taylor
Pride is the common forerunner of a fall. It was the devil's sin, and the devil's ruin; and has been, ever since, the devil's stratagem, who, like as expert wrestler, usually gives a man a lift before he gives a throw.: South
Pride, like laudanun and other poisonous medicines, is beneficial in small, though injurious in large quantities. No man who is not pleased with himself, even in a personal sense, can please others.: Frederick Saunders
There is no cure for the pride of a virtuous nation but pure religion.: Reinhold Niebuhr (1892 - 1971)
Pride the first peer and president of hell.: Daniel Defoe
There is a diabolical trio existing in the natural man, implacable, inextinguishable, co-operative and consentaneous, pride, envy, and hate; pride that makes us fancy we deserve all the goods that others possess; envy that some should be admired while we are overlooked; and hate, because all that is bestowed on others, diminishes the sum we think due to ourselves.: C. C. Colton
Pride defeats its own end, by bringing the man who seeks esteem and reverence into contempt.: Henry Bolingbroke
