Results from Poor Man's College:

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
I believe that the first test of a truly great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.: John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
In our society those who are in reality superior in intelligence can be accepted by their fellows only if they pretend they are not.: Marya Mannes
The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. That is part of the penalty for greatness, and every great man understands it; and understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness. The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure continously without resentment.: Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
The superior man is modest in his speech but exceeds in his actions.: Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
The reason why great men meet with so little pity or attachment in adversity, would seem to be this: the friends of a great man were made by his fortune, his enemies by himself, and revenge is a much more punctual paymaster than gratitude.: C. C. Colton
All great men are gifted with intuition. They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know.: Alexis Carrel (1873 - 1944)
It is another's fault if he be ungrateful, but it is mine if I do not give. To find one thankful man, I will oblige a great many that are not so.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Gossip is sometimes referred to as halitosis of the mind: Author Unknown
To live so that you would not be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip, is to have lived well: Author Unknown
