It was not meant to be inspiring. Those quotes follow this mission statement that I have come to agree with:
The War Against Motivation Continues
For over two decades, the multi-billion dollar motivation industry has unleashed untold suffering upon the workplaces, schools and civil institutions of the world - in the insidious form of the motivational poster. By the millions they have been sold and displayed - these dark instruments of corporate propaganda. While promising to stimulate "Hope", "Success" and "Teamwork", instead these tools of coercion and intimidation have inspired only grief, anger and nausea.
Pessimism. Mediocrity. Failure. Despite the considerable efforts of the motivation industry, each remains an inevitable part of our daily lives. Why, then, do we continue trying to fight them with motivational books, speakers, and posters?
We believe that such products only perpetuate the cycle of unuhappiness by raising expectations higher than life can meet. We believe that [our insight] will inspire to new heights by lowering your expectations. Let the healing begin!

Every person should have a paper with him at all times saying:

kapusta, thanks for clarifying it to goody613. This was said by Harav Yisroel Salanter.
Also, another thing that everyone should have in their pocket is a paper saying

#1. sorry, my clothing is art. not even close.
Posted 6 years ago # -
ha! i meant to write #1! don't know why i put a 2... really early in the morning...
ok, i edited the last one (i love this edit button item thingy)
Posted 6 years ago # -
i meant isn't art! god, i DO have a problem this morning!
Posted 6 years ago # -
ames, i got it - i don't know why i can't type or even think straight!
Posted 6 years ago # -
ames, are your clothes like art? If so, do they resemble the work of a particular artist? Which one?
Posted 6 years ago # -
My clothes are like modern art :) jk
Posted 6 years ago # -
aussieboy, sharp line!!!

ames, i don't exactly wear tie-dye shirts. and my clothes are not for hanging in my closet. they are for getting muddy and going in the laundry.
Posted 6 years ago # -
ames: i like that!!! maybe i'll use it next time someone copies me ;)
& how are your clothes like art? (besides for the hanging thing, i mean)Posted 6 years ago # -
pay lots and lots of money for it :p :)
Posted 6 years ago # -
lol kapusta :)
but ames, i was really asking
Posted 6 years ago # -
a tie?? who wears ties?? just kidding i think i still have a few (unless my brother stole them.) and i've got enough clothes, but if you wanna buy me more - kol hakovod. just don't make me try anything on.
and no white shirts, please.
Posted 6 years ago # -
ames: ok, i get that. but wouldn't you picking moish01's clothes would make his clothes express YOU, & not him then??
Posted 6 years ago # -
ames that was my humor at work (as much as you can get in the CR), and btw, youre adorable... :)
Moish, can I go shopping for you?! My brother has too much clothes already, and my husband won’t wear anything more stylish than a pink tie. :)
one more thing, did you just google a quote about art? :)
Posted 6 years ago # -
moish she was referring to a bowtie, and a stovepipe hat... for purim next year, or Lincolns birthday... :p
Posted 6 years ago # -
ha AOB - that's way too true. except i wouldn't wear something i didn't want to. like a pink tie.
Posted 6 years ago # -
an open book, I knew that was coming! yes, If moish wore the clothes I bought him, he would be expressing my impeccable taste rather than his own, but he does seem to working towards self improvement in other areas too, so his clothing might as well reflect that.
now what is that supposed to mean?
Posted 6 years ago # -
try the difference in style between the different designers :p
btw, when you come out with a book of quotes, you'd better sign it ames, or I'll know what your real name is ;)
Posted 6 years ago # -
Style is a rather relative term, don't you think? What you call style may not be what moish determines as style.
~a~
Posted 6 years ago # -
moish01: k good :)
ames: well i guess if he only chose to wear what he liked from the stuff you bought him, it would be all right. and while you're going, want to shop for me? i need some stuff but i hate shopping :(
Posted 6 years ago # -
anonymisss, in fact I'm sure it would not be, I was avtually referring to designs not really style per say :)
Posted 6 years ago # -
anonymisss, "moish" doesn't care too much about style.
Posted 6 years ago # -
Way off topic. Lets get back on or we shut down.
Also, don't try continuing the conversation and just putting a quote on the bottom. That does not sit well with the Moderators

Back to quotes.
"If you annoy the moderators they will shut this thread down"
Write that down. ;)

Its easier to get out than to stay out -Mark Twain
:)
Posted 6 years ago # -
kapusta, i gotta disagree with him.
it's way easier to stay out than to get out. think about it.
Posted 6 years ago # -
whoops sorry botched that up!!! it was supposed to be its easier to stay out than to get out :)
cant believe I did that :/
Posted 6 years ago # -
ok, kapusta. then i did agree with mark twain after all. it's you i disagreed with...
i feel way more confident now... ;)
Posted 6 years ago # -
:p
Posted 6 years ago # -
well kapusta, you may be on to something, but you quoted the wrong person. Twain thought it was harder to get out, but here's another quote from someone who feels the way you mistakenly said:
"Just when I think I'm out....... they pull me back in"
Posted 6 years ago # -
squeak, that doesn't contradict. the key word is "think." obviously you were never out in the first place. which proves how hard it is to get out.
Posted 6 years ago # -
queen kapusta is always onto something :)

Seeing how were quoting Mark Twain:
I never let my education get in the way of my learning.
