Achievement: You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor.
Adversity: That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.
Agony: Not all pain is gain.
Ambition: The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly
Apathy: If we don't take care of the customer, maybe they'll stop bugging us.
Arrogance: The best leaders inspire by example. When that's not an option, brute intimidation works pretty well, too.
Beauty: If you're attractive enough on the outside, people will forgive you for being irritating to the core.
Bitterness: Never be afraid to share your dreams with the world, because there's nothing the world loves more than the taste of really sweet dreams.
Blame: The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures.
Burnout: Attitudes are contagious. Mine might kill you.
Change: It's a short trip from riding the waves of change to being torn apart by the jaws of defeat.
Change (winds): When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can become deadly projectiles.
Cluelessness: There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
Compromise: Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be
Conformity: When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.
Consulting: If you're not a part of the solution,there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.
Dare to Slack: When birds fly in the right formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness.
Defeat: For every winner, there are dozens of losers. Odds are you're one of them.
Delusions: There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality.
Demotivation: Sometimes the best solution to morale problems is just to fire all of the unhappy people.
Despair: It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black.
Destiny: You were meant for me. Perhaps as a punishment.
Discovery: A company that will go to the ends of the Earth for its people will find it can hire them for about 10% of the cost of Americans.
Disloyalty: There comes a time when every team must learn to make individual sacrifices.
Disservice: It takes months to find a customer, but only seconds to lose one... the good news is that we should run out of them in no time.
Do it Later: The early worm is for the birds.
Doubt: In the battle between you and the world, bet on the world.
Dreams: Dreams are like rainbows. Only idiots chase them.
Dysfunction: The only consistent feature in all of your dissatisfying relationships is you.
Effort: Hard work never killed anybody, but it is illegal in some places.
Elitism: It's lonely at the top, but it's comforting to look down upon everyone at the bottom.
Failure: When your best just isn't good enough.
Fear: Until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore, you will not know the terror of being forever lost at sea
Flattery: If you want to get to the top, prepare to kiss a lot of the bottom.
Futility: You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and, statistically speaking, 99% of the shots you do.
Get To Work: You aren't being paid to believe in the power of your dreams.
Goals: It's best to avoid standing directly between a competitive jerk and his goals.
Hazards: There is an island of opportunity in the middle of every difficulty. Miss that, though, and you're pretty much doomed.
Humiliation: The harder you try, the dumber you look.
Idiocy: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Ignorance: It's amazing how much easier it is for a team to work together when no one has any idea where they're going.
Incompetence: When you earnestly<
