Results from Poor Man's College:

Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues.: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
Sometimes a noble failure serves the world as faithfully as a distinguished success.: Edward Dowden
One thing about the school of experience is that it will repeat the lesson if you flunk the first time.: Author Unknown
Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it.: Sir William Haley
No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how many imperfect and jagged - in some places perhaps irreparably - our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly array, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, of poetic glamour.: Randolph Silliman Bourne
It sometimes seems that we have only to solve a thing greatly to get it.: Robert Collier
Half the time men think they are talking business, they are wasting time.: Edgar Watson Howe (1853 - 1937)
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.: Wernher Von Braun (1912 - 1977)
When I was a small boy I was always being told by others, especially grown ups, to behave, to be good. It never occurred to me that I was always behaving in some manner. But I didn't have the awareness or skill to ask those grown ups what they meant when they told me to behave and to be good. Now I realize that all they wanted was for me to conform to their idea of what was good and not to do what they called bad behavior, which they sometimes changed at will. Even today people are still telling me how I should behave, but now I ask what they mean and sometimes it drives them up a wall.: Sidney Madwed
By the time the child can draw more that scribble, by the age of four or five years, an already well-formed body of conceptual knowledge formulated in language dominates his memory and controls his graphic work. Drawings are graphic accounts of essentially verbal processes. As an essentially verbal education gains control, the child abandons his graphic efforts and relies almost entirely on words. Language has first spoilt drawing and then swallowed it up completely.: Karl Buhler, 1930
