Results from Poor Man's College:

Trust: Just as you would not want to do business with someone you can't trust, this law simply stated is: When you can completely trust the process of the universe and life, you will be supplied abundantly and you will be able to make your life work just the way you want it. And the trust you give and have must be 100% or it is zero. It cannot be given under one condition and not under another. There are many things we trust with our lives and have no concern about. Such as: the sun will come up every day; the law of gravity works all the time; the pilot who pilots the plane we fly on, is competent; our garbage is picked up on certain days. If we could not trust the things we take for granted will occur without any effort on our part, the fear for our well being would be so great we would not be able to enjoy our lives. Can you imagine what the world would be like, if we could not trust the food we buy, the water we drink or that the people we depend on would not manipulate or harm us? But the only way we can expect others to trust us is, we need to be trustworthy ourselves, and especially to ourselves. Unfortunately, many people don't trust themselves and the judgments and decisions they make. Therefore, they experience disharmony with their lives and their world.: Sidney Madwed
Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves.: U Thant
As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is up to us.: A. J. Toynbee
It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.: Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850)
Truth is the summit of being; justice is the application of it to affairs.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.: Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662)
For the want of a nail, the shoe was lose; for the want of a shoe the horse was lose; and for the want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy, all for the want of care about a horseshoe nail.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
There is a noble manner of being poor and who does not know it will never be rich.: Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
In one important respect a man is fortunate in being poor. His responsibility to God is so much the less.: John Christian Bovee
