"People have to follow their hearts, and if their hearts lead them to Wal-Mart, so be it." - Maynard James Keenan

I think the biggest problem working with me would be that I'm an only child, and so I have an internal dialogue that goes on that I just assume you can hear. Because as an only child, you have your own little world. Then you go into a situation where you're working with other people, and unless you actually vocalize what you're thinking, the other people will go through hell trying to figure out what's going on. - Maynard James Keenan

"To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special." - Jim Valvano

A couple I like, and are posted in my cubicle:

.. every day is the right day.

- Pink Floyd (although I can't remember which song)



Or from a Buddhist booklet someone sent me...

If you know anything that is hurtful and untrue, don't say it.
If you know anything that is helpful but untrue, don't say it.
If you know anything that is hurtful but true, don't say it.
If you know anything that is helpful and true, find the right time.


The most damaging phrase in the language is: We've always done it this way.

- Grace Hopper (1906-1992)


I also have a sticker that asks, "Have you hugged a Postal Worker today?" but that is just for fun. ;)


And one that hit me this morning as I heard it on the way to work...

I could cry for the time I've wasted
But that's a waste of time and tears.

- Willie Nelson (Nothing I Can Do About It Now)

Let me get this straight. You need a quotation suitable for yourself, so you are asking a group strangers to come up with something for you?

How about:

"To find yourself, think for yourself." Socrates

"Now on the day I was born
The nurses all gathered round
to gaze in wide wonder
at the joy they had found

the head nurse spoke up
She said, leave this one alone
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone"

George "Thoroughly" Thorogood.
