Results from Poor Man's College:

We find greatest joy, not in getting, but expressing what we are. Men do not really live for honors or for pay; their gladness is not in the taking and holding, but in the doing, the striving, the building, the living. It is a higher joy to teach than to be taught. It is good to get justice, but better to do it; fun to have things, but more to make them. The happy man is he who lives the life of love, not for the honors it may bring, but for the life itself.: R. J. Baughan
In jealousy there is more of self-love, than of love to another.: Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)
Rather do what is nothing in the purpose than to be idle, that the devil may find thee doing. The bird that sits is easily shot when the fliers escape the fowler. Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows all the virtues, and is the self-made sepulcher of a living man.: Francis Quarles (1592 - 1644)
It isn't easy for an idea to squeeze itself into a head filled with prejudice.: Author Unknown
Human nature is not of itself vicious.: Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809)
The honest man must be a perpetual renegade, the life of an honest man a perpetual infidelity. For the man who wishes to remain faithful must take himself perpetually unfaithful to all the continual, successive, indefatigable, renascent errors.: Charles Peguy
Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one rascal less in the world.: Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881)
For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.: Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)
What a searching preacher of self-command is the varying phenomenon of health.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
We never get to love by hate, least of all by self-hatred.: Basil W. Maturin
