Results from Poor Man's College:

The best advisers, helpers and friends, always are not those who tell us how to act in special cases, but who give us, out of themselves, the ardent spirit and desire to act right, and leave us then, even through many blunders, to find out what our own form of right action is: Phillips Brooks (1835 - 1893)
Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.: Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
The advertising industry is one of our most basic forms of communication and, allegedly, of information. Yet, obviously, much of this ostensible information is not purveyed to inform but to manipulate and to achieve a result -- to make somebody think he needs something that very possibly he doesn't need, or to make him think one version of something is better than another version when the ground for such a belief really doesn't exist.: Marvin E. Frankel
No one can deny that much of our modern advertising is essentially dishonest; and it can be maintained that to lie freely and all the time for private profit is not to abuse the right of free speech, whether it is a violation of the law or not. But again the practical question is, how much lying for private profit is to be permitted by law?: Carl L. Becker
A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner, neither do uninterrupted prosperity and success qualify for usefulness and happiness. The storms of adversity, like those of the ocean, rouse the faculties, and excite the invention, prudence, skill and fortitude or the voyager. The martyrs of ancient times, in bracing their minds to outward calamities, acquired a loftiness of purpose and a moral heroism worth a lifetime of softness and security.: Author Unknown
Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with.: Leighton
Prosperity is no just scale; adversity is the only balance to weigh friends.: Plutarch (46 AD - 120 AD)
None of us are responsible for all the things that happen to us, but we are responsible for the way we act when they do happen.: Author Unknown
I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair.: Lord Tennyson
If you have no friends to share or rejoice in your success in life - if you cannot look back to those whom you owe gratitude, or forward to those to whom you ought to afford protection, still it is no less incumbent on you to move steadily in the path of duty; for your active excretions are due not only to society; but in humble gratitude to the Being who made you a member of it, with powers to save yourself and others.: Walter Scott
