Results from Poor Man's College:

The motivation for all personal behavior is to produce a sense of "FEEL GOOD," a sense of inner peace and well being. To expect a person to go against his desire to feel good or as good as he can feel under any momentary condition is illogical and irrational. In the observation of human behavior, one will notice every human act is a response to a personal need. This is true whether one signs a million dollar contract, scratches one's nose, rolls over in bed, or just day dreams his life away. People will do things which seem contrary to this concept, but the bottom line is they perceive some kind of payoff which will make them feel good. And the payoff is almost always emotional. When you ask people why they want to be financially independent, they might say that they could buy things without having to worry about where the money will come from. And when they worry, they don't FEEL GOOD. A drug addict, a compulsive eater, an alcoholic and anyone with a compulsive habit will continue with their habits because at the moment of action they believe and feel it will make them feel good. That is why breaking compulsive habits are so difficult.: Sidney Madwed
It is the mind that maketh good or ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.: Edmund Spenser (1552 - 1599)
Nothing in life is as good as the marriage of true minds between man and woman. As good? It is life itself.: Pearl S. Buck
To be always thinking about your manners is not the way to make them good; the very perfection of manners is not to think about yourself.: Richard Whately
Those that are good manners at the court are as ridiculous in the country, as the behavior of the country is most mockable at the court.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
I don't believe in the goodness of disagreeable people.: O. Dewey
The society of women is the element of good manners.: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
Good manners and good morals are sworn friends and fast allies.: C. A. Bartol
"Luck" is a very good word if you put a P before it.: Author Unknown
Never have anything to do with an unlucky place, or an unlucky man. I have seen many clever men, very clever men, who had not shoes to their feet. I never act with them. Their advice sounds very well, but they cannot get on themselves; and if they cannot do good to themselves, how can they do good for me?: Rothschild
