Results from Poor Man's College:

We are armed with language adequate to describe each leaf of the filed, but not to describe human character.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

Because of impatience they were expelled, because of impatience they do not return.: Franz Kafka (1883 - 1924)

As it delights in presenting to the mind scenes and characters more perfect than those which we are acquainted with, it prevents us from ever being completely satisfied without present condition, or with our past attainments, and engages us continually in the pursuit of some untried enjoyment, or of some ideal excellence. Destroy this faculty, and the condition of man will become as stationary as that of the brutes.: Dugald Stewart
It is better to be a beggar than ignorant; for a beggar only wants money, but an ignorant person wants humanity.: Aristippus

Doctors don't know everything really. They understand matter, not spirit. And you and I live in spirit.: William Saroyan (1908 - 1981), "The Human Comedy"
It is human nature to hate him whom you have injured.: Tacitus
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)
