In today's climate of economic hardship and political skepticism, there's a limit to how much one can maintain composure. Frustration and anger may be the catalysts for change. To spark a new sense of motivation, this collection presents centuries of sharp and embittered observations. Across the globe and throughout history, many have expressed dissatisfaction with the status quo: - On Politics: "Politics" combines "poly," meaning "many," and "ticks," referring to "blood-sucking parasites." —Larry Hardiman - On Work: "By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually get to be a boss and work twelve hours a day." —Robert Frost - On Money: "The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any." —Katherine Whitehorn - On Business: "Nothing is illegal if a hundred businessmen decide to do it, and that's true anywhere in the world." —Andrew Young - On War: "You can't say civilization doesn't advance...for in every war they kill you a new way." —Will Rogers - On Life: "If you wake up and you're not in pain, you know you're dead." —Russian proverb This parody of the iconic Keep Calm and Carry On poster, formatted similarly to the popular Keep Calm and Carry On book, is poised to become the motivational mantra for realists everywhere!
