Results from Poor Man's College:

All that a man does outwardly is but the expression and completion of his inward thought. To work effectually, he must think clearly; to act nobly, he must think nobly. Intellectual force is a principal element of the soul's life, and should be proposed by every man as the principal end of his being.: William E. Channing
Talent, lying in the understanding, is often inherited; genius, being the action of reason or imagination, rarely or never.: Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834)

Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but that mark of a fake messiah.: Richard Bach

Nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time.: Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919)
Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.: Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924)
Wealth is not of necessity a curse, nor poverty a blessing. Wholesome and easy abundance is better than either extreme; better for our manhood that we have enough for daily comfort; enough for culture, for hospitality, for charity. More than this may or may not be a blessing. Certainly it can be a blessing only by being accepted as a trust.: R. D. Hitchcock
People care more about being thought to have taste than about being good, clever, or amiable.: Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
