Unpleasant Quotes

Everybody wants life to speak to them with special kindness.

That, if it is to be you or someone else, you need it to be you, no matter what Picture Quote #1

I think it’s one of the toughest things especially a young person has to do and the only way you can do it is if you’re willing to walk out the door if he doesn’t take your advice. Or if you’re willing to walk out the door if he goes over the line Picture Quote #1

The corporations that profit from permanent war need us to be afraid. Fear stops us from objecting to government spending on a bloated military. Fear means we will not ask unpleasant questions of those in power. Fear permits the government to operate in secret. Fear means we are willing to give up our rights and liberties for promises of security. The imposition of fear ensures that the corporations that wrecked the country cannot be challenged. Fear keeps us penned in like livestock Picture Quote #1

I believe that the mindset that allows you to spend your working life thanking and congratulating people rather than being unpleasant to them is the mainstay of good leadership Picture Quote #1

When your day’s not perfect, it’s not a failure or a terrible loss. It’s just another day Picture Quote #1

There is a big difference between wanting to say you wrote a book, and actually writing one. Many people think they want to write, even though they find crafting sentences and paragraphs unpleasant.
