Results from Poor Man's College:

We hear much of a decent pride, a becoming proud, a noble pride, a laudable pride. Can that be decent, of which we ought to be ashamed? Can that be becoming, of which God has set forth the deformity? Can that be noble which God resists and is determined to abase? Can that be laudable, which God call abominable.: Robert Cecil
Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.: Author Unknown
Each present joy or sorrow seems the chief.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.: Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662)
However much we talk of the inexorable laws governing the life of individuals and of societies, we remain at the bottom convinced that in human affairs everything in more or less fortuitous. We do not even believe in the inevitability of our own death. Hence the difficulty of deciphering the present, of detecting the seeds of things to come as they germinate before our eyes. We are not attuned to seeing the inevitable.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
Finish each day before you begin the next, and interpose a solid wall of sleep between the two. This you cannot do without temperance.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present - which seldom happens to us.: Jean De La Bruyere (1645 - 1696)
I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.: Lord Chesterfield (1694 - 1773)
For the want of a nail, the shoe was lose; for the want of a shoe the horse was lose; and for the want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy, all for the want of care about a horseshoe nail.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
Prejudice is the reasoning of fools.: Author Unknown
