Results from Poor Man's College:

At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning for union with one's lost self.: Brendan Francis
To be listened to is, generally speaking, a nearly unique experience for most people. It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frigthened.: Robert C. Murphy
Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours.: Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881)
The more you talk to yourself, the more apt you are to lie.: Author Unknown
A liar begins with making falsehood appear like truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood.: William Shenstone
He who has not a good memory should never take upon himself the trade of lying.: Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)
The best leader is the one who has the sense to surround himself with outstanding people and self-restraint not to meddle with how they do their jobs.: Author Unknown
A great leader never sets himself above his followers except in carrying responsibilities.: Jules Ormont
Non Judgment: In our world where it seems we are taught to judge everything all around and about us and we spend so much of our time doing just that, it might be wise to ask if we can judge anything. To judge anything with any degree of clarity and accuracy we would need all the information past, present and future and how it will affect all concerned to make a perfect judgment. Since no one has that skill, ability or information, you might agree, it may be unwise to judge. This idea may be hard to accept, but when you look back over your life and the judgments you made, ask yourself. How many of your judgments, when you made them, were you perfectly sure they were correct, would you want to change now with the benefit of 20 20 hindsight? Since every judgment is only an opinion based on the limited information at hand, filtered through one's personal value system, it might be safe to assume no two people will judge anything exactly the same. Even concepts of right and wrong, good or bad, good or bad morals and ethics are only opinions, for what may be good in one case may be a disaster in another.: Sidney Madwed
It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to be kind to another, without helping himself.: Bailey
