Results from Poor Man's College:

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)
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
No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how many imperfect and jagged - in some places perhaps irreparably - our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly array, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, of poetic glamour.: Randolph Silliman Bourne
The few little years we spend on earth are only the first scene in a Divine Drama that extends into Eternity.: Edwin Markham
The service we render to others is really the rent we pay for our room on this earth. It is obvious that man is himself a traveler; that the purpose of this world is not "to have and to hold" but "to give and serve." There can be no other meaning.: Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell
Books are like a mirror. If an ass looks in, you can't expect an angel to look out.: Arthur Schoenhauer
It is easier to believe than to doubt.: Everett D. Martin
Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.: Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.: Pablo Picasso (1881 - 1973)
The artist is the confidant of nature, flowers carry on dialogues with him through the graceful bending of their stems and the harmoniously tinted nuances of their blossoms, Every flower has a cordial word which nature directs towards him.: Auguste Rodin
