Results from Poor Man's College:

The slave has but one master, the ambitious man has as many as can help in making his fortune.: Jean De La Bruyere (1645 - 1696)
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.: Henry Ward Beecher (1813 - 1887)
Age withers only the outside.: Author Unknown
Old age may seem a long way off. But on the day it doesn't, it will be too late to do anything about it.: Author Unknown
You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea: Author Unknown
As for the pyramids, there is nothing to wonder at in them so much as the fact that so many men could be found degraded enough to spend their lives constructing a tomb for some ambitious booby, whom it would have been wiser and manlier to have drowned in the Nile, and then given his body to the dogs.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
If I had my life to live over I'd like to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual trouble, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I'm one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute. If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds, I would pick more daisies.: Nadine Stair
The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences.: Jean-Jacques Rousseau
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.: Pindar (522 BC - 443 BC)
When I was young I was amazed at Plutarch's statement that the elder Cato began at the age of eighty to learn Greek. I am amazed no longer. Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.: W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965)
