Results from Poor Man's College:

It is with disease of the mind, as with those of the body; we are half dead before we understand our disorder, and half cured when we do.: C. C. Colton
There is nothing displays the quickness of genius more than a dispute - as two diamonds, encountering, contribute to each other's lustre. But perhaps the odds are against the man of taste in this particular.: Shestone
The pain of dispute exceeds, by much, its utility. All disputation makes the mind deaf, and when people are deaf I am dumb.: Joseph Joubert
Free and fair discussion will ever be found the firmest friend to truth.: G. Campbell
There are many shining qualities on the mind of man; but none so useful as discretion. It is this which gives a value to all the rest, and sets them at work in their proper places, and turns them to the advantage of their possessor. Without it, learning is pedantry; wit, impertinence; virtue itself looks like weakness; and the best parts only qualify a man to be more sprightly in errors, and active to his own prejudice. Though a man has all other perfections and wants discretion, he will be of no great consequence in the world; but if he has this single talent in perfection, and but a common share of others, he may do what he pleases in his station of life.: Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
Through every rift of discovery some seeming anomaly drops out of the darkness, and falls, as a golden link, into the great chain of order.: Edwin Hubbel Chapin
We love in others what we lack ourselves, and would be everything but what we are.: Charles A. Stoddard
To succeed in the world, it is much more necessary to possess the penetration to discern who is a fool, than to discover who is a clever man.: Charles Talleyrand
No man with a man's heart in him, gets far on his way without some bitter, soul searching disappointment. Happy he who is brave enough to push on another stage of the journey, and rest where there are living springs of water, and three score and ten palms.: Brown
Bear in mind, if you are going to amount to anything, that your success does not depend upon the brilliancy and the impetuosity with which you take hold, but upon the ever lasting and sanctified bulldoggedness with which you hang on after you have taken hold.: Dr. A. B. Meldrum
