Results from Poor Man's College:

The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one.: James Goldsmith
A sudden bold and unexpected question doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.: Sir Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626)
Proverbs are in the world of thought what gold coin is in the world of business - great value in small compass, and equally current among all people. Sometimes the proverb may be false, the coin counterfeit, but in both cases the false proves the value of the true.: D. March
Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.: Lord Chesterfield (1694 - 1773)
Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing, with the result we do nothing. The way to get ahead is to start now. While many of us are waiting until conditions are "just right" before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we are, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, traveled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don't know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait.: The William Feather Magazine
We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.: Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662)
The honest poor can sometimes forget poverty. The honest rich can never forget it.: G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)
Few men during their lifetime come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling in them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.: Richard E. Byrd
Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.: Alfred De Musset
Poetry reveals to us the loveliness of nature, brings back the freshness of youthful feelings, reviews the relish of simple pleasures, keeps unquenched the enthusiasm which warmed the springtime of our being, refines youthful love, strengthens our interest in human mature, by vivid delineations of its tenderest and softest feelings, and through the brightness of its prophetic visions, helps faith to lay hold on the future life.: William E. Channing
