Results from Poor Man's College:

Between eigtheen and twenty, life is like an exchange where one buys stocks, not with money, but with actions. Most men buy nothing.: Andre Malraux (1901 - 1976)
Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together.: Anais Nin (1903 - 1977)
The action of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.: John Locke (1632 - 1704)
The more we do, the more we can do; the more busy we are the more leisure we have.: William Hazlitt (1778 - 1830)
The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action - the ability to pass directly from thought to action.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
The greatest potential for control the ends to exist at the point where action takes place.: Louis A. Allen
The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.: Epicurus (341 BC - 270 BC)
Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful groping. We see our past achievements as the end results of a clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as signs of decline and decay.: Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.: Foster C. McClellan
Nor is it always in the most distinguished achievements that men's virtues or vices may be best discovered: but very often an action of small note, a short saying, or a jest, shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges, or the most important battle.: Plutarch (46 AD - 120 AD)
