    Inspirational Sayings

    The school system that employs me makes a big deal about posting inspirational sayings in classrooms, so I've decided to stop making fun of said posters and begin manufacturing my own. I'm having trouble coming up with ideas, however.

    By far the most common saying I see is "Anger is only one letter away from danger." This usually elicits two responses in my brain. The first is to pronounce danger with a hard g, making it rhyme with anger. The second is to say, "so is hanger." I suppose this would be meaningful to Joan Crawford, but no one else.

    So far, I've only come up with one saying on my own: "Courage always ends in rage." While this is demonstrably true, most people I mention this to begin backing away slowly.

    That's where I stand at the moment.

    There's no "u" in "love".

    If the shortcut were easy, it'd just be the way.

    Everybody makes mistakes. It's what you do to correct your mistakes that shows what kind of person you are.

    Correct? I just try to blame them on somebody else.

    I don't make mistakes, but I admit other people's mistakes easily.

    If a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way, he develops a good, lucky feeling.

    Yesterday was the last day of the first part of your life. You know, the good part. It's all downhill from here.

    The local school puts updates/ inspirational sayings on its sign in the front of the school. This spring one of the signs said "1st and 2nd graders is doing great work." I wish I took a picture.

    It takes a big man to cry, it takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man crying....

    One of my favorite Jack Handy quotes.

    I've never been inspired by a poster, but off the top of my head how 'bout:

    Failure finds the one who quit. Success if found by those who strive.
