Door Slogans Part Four


Note: The habit of finding pithy sayings and posting them on office door was the beginning of my hobby of creating aphorisms from significant literature and other places.


Aphorism 95: “Emphasize Activism, Restrict Criticism!” by Robert K. Greenleaf


Full Quote: “With education that is preponderantly abstract and analytical it is no wonder that there is a preoccupation with criticism and that not much thought is given to ‘What can I do about it?’” 1995, “the Leaders Companion”, p. 21


Aphorism 94: “I’m Off Chicken!” Bill Tonnesen, artist


Comment: I’m off chicken is the name of Bill Tonnesen’s opening reception during his 2002 art show in Phoenix, AZ as read from the magazine Booksense, p. 44


Aphorism 93: “There is Nothing More Informative Than Taking A Walk Around the Block!” late Peter Jennings, ABC News anchor.


Comment: This comment was presented to a group of New Orleans Business leaders and university professors


Aphorism 92: “Expect to play important minutes!” Michael Jordan, NBA basketball star


Comment: The sports editor of the New Orleans Times Picayune stated: “Michael Jordan says he expects ‘play important minutes’ this season for the Washington Wizards.” Oct. 1, 2002.


Aphorism 91: “Go Full throttle!” Sonny Barger


Comment: As quoted by the Times Picayune, July, 25, 2000, “The philosophy of life of Sonny Barger, the [then] 61 year old leader of hell’s Angels.”
