Results from Poor Man's College:

People talk fundamentals and superlatives and then make some changes of detail.: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935)
Opinion is that exercise of the human will which helps us to make a decision without information.: John Erskine (1879 - 1951)

The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.: William Blake (1757 - 1827)
If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities; in the expert's mind there are few.: Shunryu Suzuli
We always do what we MOST WANT to do, whether or not we like what we are doing at each instant of our lives. Wanting and liking many times are not the same thing. Many people have done what they say they didn't want to do at a particular moment. And that may be true until one looks deeper into the motivation behind the doing. What they are really saying is the price they will have to pay or the consequences they will have to endure, for not doing that something may be too high or onerous for them not to do it. Such as going to work. Many people say they don't want to go to work and yet they go. Which means they don't want to risk losing their jobs and the negative hurting emotions associated with not having a job. It has been estimated about 90% to 95% of all people work at jobs which are unfulfilling and which they dislike and would leave in a minute if they only knew what they really wanted to do.: Sidney Madwed
Nature is a mutable cloud, which is always and never the same.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Nature is not affected by finance. If someone offered you ten thousand dollars to let them touch your eyeball without blinking, you would never collect the money. At the very last moment, Nature would force you to blink your eye. Nature will protect her own.: Dick Gregory (1932 - )
Nature is the most thrifty thing in the world; she never wastes anything; she undergoes change, but there is no annihilation, the essence remains - matter is eternal.: Horace Binney
Explain it as we may, a martial strain will urge a man into the front rank of battle sooner than an argument, and a fine anthem excite his devotion more certainly than a logical discourse.: Henry Tuckerman
