college men self
The aim of the college, for the individual student, is to eliminate the need in his life for the college; the task is to help him become a self-educating man.
asking calling wealth
When a fortune comes without calling, it's apt to leave without asking.
inspirational motivational courage
Because a fellow has failed once or twice or a dozen times, you don't want to set him down as a failure till he's dead or loses his courage.
college fool college-life
Colleges don't make fools, they only develop them.
reading good-man use
I remember reading once that some fellows use language to conceal thought; but it's been my experience that a good many more use it instead of thought.
lying eye tongue
When the tongue lies, the eyes tell the truth.
thinking people special
And a diplomatist is one who lets the other fellow think he's getting his way, while all the time he's having his own. It never does any special harm to let people have their way with their mouths.
humble men differences
It's been my experience that every man has in him the possibility of doing well some one thing, no matter how humble, and that there's some one, in some place, who wants that special thing done. The difference between a fellow who succeeds and one who fails is that the first gets out and chases after the man who needs him, and the second sits around waiting to be hunted up.
dog games rabbits
Naturally, when a young fellow steps up into a big position, it breeds jealousy among those whom he's left behind and uneasiness among those to whom he's pulled himself up. Between them he's likely to be subjected to a lot of petty annoyances. But he's in the fix of a dog with fleas who's chasing a rabbit -- if he stops to snap at the tickling on his tail, he's going to lose his game dinner.
letting-go men stills
Some men are like oak leaves -- they don't know when they're dead, but still hang right on; and there are others who let go before anything has really touched them.
dog years long
Doing the same thing in the same way year after year is like eating a quail a day for thirty days. Along toward the middle of the month a fellow begins to long for a broiled crow or a slice of cold dog.
differences facts delivery
There's a vast difference between having a carload of miscellaneous facts sloshing around loose in your head and getting all mixed up in transit, and carrying the same assortment properly boxed and crated for convenient handling and immediate delivery.
apples office tree
When an office begins to look like a family tree, you'll find worms tucked away snug and cheerful in most of the apples.
mistake eggs rotten
When you make a mistake, don't make a second one -- keeping it to yourself. Own up. The time to sort out rotten eggs is at the nest. The deeper you hide them in the case the longer they stay in circulation, and the worse impression they make when they finally come to the breakfast table.
