Results from Poor Man's College:

I despise making the most of one's time. Half of the pleasures of life consist of the opportunities one has neglected.: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (1841 - 1935)
To us, the moment 8:17 A.M. means something - something very important, if it happens to be the starting time of our daily train. To our ancestors, such an odd eccentric instant was without significance - did not even exist. In inventing the locomotive, Watt and Stevenson were part inventors of time.: Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.: Henry Ford (1863 - 1947)
Most of us think ourselves as standing wearily and helplessly at the center of a circle bristling with tasks, burdens, problems, annoyance, and responsibilities which are rushing in upon us. At every moment we have a dozen different things to do, a dozen problems to solve, a dozen strains to endure. We see ourselves as overdriven, overburdened, overtired. This is a common mental picture and it is totally false. No one of us, however crowded his life, has such an existence. What is the true picture of your life? Imagine that there is an hour glass on your desk. Connecting the bowl at the top with the bowl at the bottom is a tube so thin that only one grain of sand can pass through it at a time. That is the true picture of your life, even on a super busy day, The crowded hours come to you always one moment at a time. That is the only way they can come. The day may bring many tasks, many problems, strains, but invariably they come in single file. You want to gain emotional poise? Remember the hourglass, the grains of sand dropping one by one.: James Gordon Gilkey
We never shall have any more time we have, and we have always had, all the time there is.: Dr. Thomas Arnold Bennett
An inch of time cannot be bought with an inch of gold.: Chinese Proverb
You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.: Jo Coudert, "Advice From A Failure"
Risk - If one has to jump a stream and knows how wide it is, he will not jump. If he doesn't know how wide it is, he'll jump and six times out of ten he'll make it.: Persian
What is morality in any given time or place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like, and immorality is what they dislike.: Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947)
It is a very lonely life that a man leads, who becomes aware of truths before their times.: Thomas Brackett Reed
