Results from Poor Man's College:

Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on someone without getting some on yourself.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
There is this difference between happiness and wisdom, that he that thinks himself the happiest man, really is so; but he who thinks himself the wisest, is generally the greatest fool.: C. C. Colton
Habit, my friend, is practice long pursued, that at last becomes man himself.: Evenus
The reason why great men meet with so little pity or attachment in adversity, would seem to be this: the friends of a great man were made by his fortune, his enemies by himself, and revenge is a much more punctual paymaster than gratitude.: C. C. Colton
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the unlimitable superior who reveals Himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God: Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
The only difference between a genius and one of common capacity is that the former anticipates and explores what the latter accidentally hits upon; but even the man of genius himself more frequently employs the advantages that chance presents him; it is the lapidary who gives value to the diamond which the peasant has dug up without knowing its value.: Abbe Guillaume Raynal
Sometimes, indeed, there is such a discrepancy between the genius and his human qualities that one has to ask oneself whether a little less talent might not have been better.: Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
A genius is the man in whom you are least likely to find the power of attending to anything insipid or distasteful in itself. He breaks his engagements, leaves his letters unanswered, neglects his family duties incorrigibly, because he is powerless to turn his attention down and back from those more interesting trains of imagery with which his genius constantly occupies his mind.: William James (1842 - 1910)
He who gives what he would as readily throw away, gives without generosity; for the essence of generosity is in self sacrifice.: Henry Taylor
If you do not feel yourself growing in your work and your life broadening and deepening, if your task is not a perpetual tonic to you, you have not found your place.: Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924)
