Results from Poor Man's College:

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.: Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)
Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
The first and last thing required of genius is the love of truth.: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
The definition of genius is that it acts unconsciously; and those who have produced immortal works, have done so without knowing how or why. The greatest power operates unseen.: William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830)

Passion holds up the bottom of the universe and genius paints up its roof.: Chang Ch'ao
The author of genius does keep till his last breath the spontaneity, the ready sensitiveness, of a child, the "innocence of eye" that means so much to the painter, the ability to respond freshly and quickly to new scenes, and to old scenes as though they were new; to see traits and characteristics as though each were new-minted from the hand of God instead of sorting them quickly into dusty categories and pigeon-holing them without wonder or surprise; to feel situations so immediately and keenly that the word "trite" has hardly any meaning for him; and always to see "the correspondences between things" of which Aristotle spoke two thousand years ago.: Dorothea Brande
He who gives what he would as readily throw away, gives without generosity; for the essence of generosity is in self sacrifice.: Henry Taylor
If you don't get a kick out of the job you are doing you'd better hunt another one.: Samuel Vauclain
Men of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them.: Barry Duncan
